Alfred workflow. Open a new window in Chrome and if URL given, then go to that URL

alfred2-openNewChromeWindow

on alfred_script(q)
	if not (q starts with "http://")
		set q to "http://" & q
	end if
	tell application "/Applications/Google Chrome.app"
		make new window
		set URL of active tab of window 1 to q
	end tell
end alfred_script

This is great! How can I implement it? I tried setting up a workflow but couldn't get it working. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My workflow is to use a keyword then run the script above minus the if statement and then use the Open URL action. If you are wanting to do this for any domain just use {query} in the Open URL action. If you don't need a new window skip the script entirely.

Keyword > NSAppleScript > Open URL. You can chain URL's as well.

Keyword > NSAppleScript > Open URL > Open URL > Open URL

I've been using this for a long time, it's super helpful!

I'm trying to adjust it for use with Safari 11.1, but having trouble. All URLs keep opening in the same window. Aiming to have different windows for specific sets of URLs. Any ideas on how to swap Chrome for Safari?

thanks for sharing
modified: open url in new tab if chrome is running otherwise in new window, link

And it still works!

Great, it's very useful! 😃
