I am working on multiple screens.
when I intend to open a new chrome window(not a tab),I have to press 'CMD+Tab' to shift to the current and press 'Ctrl+N'.

If input command

open https://apple.stackexchange.com

A new tab created not a new window.

open -na "Google Chrome" --args --new-window "https://georgegarside.com"

-n opens a new instance of an application. Google Chrome detects this and remedies the situation by closing the new instance and passing the tab’s location to the first instance, but this is necessary to force arguments to be read.
--args indicates what's to follow are arguments to be passed to Google Chrome, not open.
--new-window is a Google Chrome argument to force a new window to be created.

  • @JawSaw I’ve replaced ‘collapses’ with a description of what happens, let me know if more help would be useful – grg♦ Feb 22 at 15:18
