    Chrome and dual monitors

    I'm using Chrome 125.0.6422.112 on a dual-monitor system. Chrome always opens on the wrong monitor (not the primary monitor). I've tried the move-it-to-the-other-monitor-and-close ploy, but it has no effect. All other programs open, as they should, on my primary monitor. I can always just keep moving Chrome from secondary to primary monitor by hand, but there has to be a way to tell it where to go originally. Thanks.

    How about applying a window rule to Chrome to always open on the primary monitor when started? Right klick in Chrome's top window bar and go from there.

      Can't say why this is happening, but it's fixable.

      Try right-clicking on the title bar. You should see a menu labeled "More Actions...". Hover on that menu then you should see a new menu pop open with "Configure Special Application Settings".

      Click on that then a window should pop open with most of the info filled in. At the lower-left click on "+Add Property" and scroll down to "Size and Position". There you can select a position for it to open using X-Y coordinates and lots of other ways to pre-select the window set up.
