Chrome Apps Workaround for Vivaldi
Those of you who use Vivaldi Browser and would like to make Chrome Apps for your favorite websites, I found a way to make them using the "--app=URL_HERE" command parameter.
Chrome Apps Workaround
Vivaldi Browser
Here are the instructions on how to do this for yourself:
- Download and install Vivaldi Browser from https://vivaldi.com/download/ [if you don't already have it].
- Create a shortcut on your desktop and rename it to the name of the website you wish to make a Chrome App for.
- Right click the desktop shortcut and enter properties.
- In the Target box, append --app=URL_HERE to the end of it. Make sure to replace URL_HERE with the URL of the website you're trying to make a Chrome App for.
- Change the icon to whatever you want to use for your newly made Chrome App.
- Finally place the new Chrome App into a folder of your choosing and run it.
If you follow the steps above in order you will have a fully functional Chrome App for use with Vivaldi Browser.
This method however WILL NOT add them to the "Vivaldi://apps" page. Instead you can launch them directly from the shortcut created and it works perfectly.
Here is a screenshot of what Virtual Customs looks like via a Chrome App using the method I posted in the instructionsTo make the Virtual Customs Chrome App for Vivaldi Browser I simply replaced the default path in the Target box:
Original Path:
Code:"C:\Program Files\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe"
New Path:
Code:"C:\Program Files\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe" --app=https://virtualcustoms.net/
