I can open regular URLs with open and open -a "Google Chrome.app" but this doesn't work for chrome:// urls, e.g.

$ open -a "Google Chrome.app" chrome://bookmarks
The file /Users/andreas/chrome:/bookmarks does not exist.

How do you open chrome:// URLs from the command line on Mac OS X?

1 Answer

chrome-cli might work:

chrome-cli open <url> (Open url in new tab)
chrome-cli open <url> -n (Open url in new window)
chrome-cli open <url> -i (Open url in new incognito window)
chrome-cli open <url> -t <id> (Open url in specific tab)
chrome-cli open <url> -w <id> (Open url in new tab in specific window)
