Good evening everyone,

I would like to open a window with javascript code. Usually window.open works fine but the link I provide is chrome://gpu and when I do that, Chrome redirects me to the about:blank page. It happens only with chrome:// links, everything else works fine.

I may understand it is some security issue and Chrome blocks these links to be opened. Do you know if there is a workaround or a setting to allow Javascript to open chrome:// in a new window ?

Thanks a lot,

I don't think so. It doesn't work with file:// urls either. What do you want to do that for? A plugin/extension can probably do it. – spelufo May 30 '15 at 02:17
Not with Javascript. As stated, you would need to write a Chrome extension. – user2867288 May 30 '15 at 04:25
Ok thanks guys ! Here we go for an extension then. – clementescolano May 31 '15 at 05:12
