Open clicked URLs into a particular Google Chrome profile

Problem

When I click on links from Slack or Outlook on MacOS they open in seemingly random browser windows/profiles. This is annoying.

Solution

Open links in a particular google chrome profile window. Be less annoyed.

  1. In Chrome, visit chrome://version and find the desired profile name. Mine was Default. Copy that profile's directory name, like Profile 2 or Default, not the profile's vanity name you see when you click on your profile icon in the browser.
  2. Install Finicky: brew install finicky. After install it should be running and you should see the icon in the upper toolbar.
  3. From the Finicky Toolbar Item, click > Config > Create New
  4. Edit the new file ~/.finicky and make it look something like this, filling in your profile name:

What forces layout/reflow. The comprehensive list.

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Element

Box metrics
  • elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent
  • elem.clientLeft, elem.clientTop, elem.clientWidth, elem.clientHeight
  • elem.getClientRects(), elem.getBoundingClientRect()

# Set this to the name of your VirtualBox host-only interface.

interface=vboxnet0
# This option will be forced anyway on OS X so set here to avoid a warning:
bind-interfaces
