Then you have to pass a flag to Chrome to tell it to do that. I don't remember which flag. Google it.

@sindresorhus The original issue probably could've provided more details.

I am seeing this with macOS with open:

open -a "google chrome" --args --new-window "https://google.com"

vs

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --new-window "https://google.com"

(run both commands twice to see that open does not open a new instance, but running chrome directly does)

The issue is the -n flag is not being passed to open to actually open a new instance of the application, and there doesn't appear to be a way to pass flags to open.

I'm not sure about the status of windows/linux.
