chrome-ssb

Simple script for making Chrome SSBs on OS X

This is an update of Bracken King's original script published in this 2010 article.

I've updated it a bit to work better:

  • Allow spaces in all variables
  • Properly Trim spaces for easy drag and dropping of icon paths
  • Properly look for Chrome location in /Applications (it uses the first one it finds)
  • Make the new App wherever it's called from
  • Your Profile is placed in the correct location (in the Bundle) no matter where you move the app

Usage

  • Place chrome-ssb.sh in your path or somewhere convenient to call from
  • Run chrome-ssb.sh wherever you want
  • You can also move the created app anywhere you want without issues

Note: Finder may not pick up the icon (shows up as invisible) if you have the creation target folder active/open. You can make it show up by moving the App to a different folder. If you know a workaround, please send a pull request...

Notes

  • This script now makes a copy of the 'Google Chrome' launcher executable stub at application start (it is pretty small, about 13KB) instead of symlinking to solve 10.9 compatibility issues (see #22). The executable points to a specific version of the Google Chrome Framework (../Versions/[VERSION]/Google Chrome Framework.framework/Google Chrome Framework).
  • Copying the launcher executable instead of symlinking will break OS X Gatekeeper's code signing. This shouldn't normally be a problem, but is discussed in depth in Issue #23
