Hi there,

I would like to automatically open up a test page in chrome only in dev when running my dev command (so no manifest stuff). I'll serve the page myself locally (localhost:3008), but I'm struggling to find a way to start the browser with the page opened.

I tried all of these (separately) in extension.config.js but none of them seemed to work:

// https://www.chromium.org/administrators/configuring-other-preferences/
browser: {
  chrome: {
    browserFlags: ['--startup-page="https://localhost:3008'],
    preferences: {
      homepage: 'https://localhost:3008',
      homepage_is_newtabpage: true,
      session: {
        startup_urls: ['https://localhost:3008']
      }
    }
  }
}

hey @tom2strobl, great to see you here again!

yeah, extension.config.js should provide a "startingUrl" option for each browser field and we should also have a --start-url flag or something so users can extension dev --starting-url=https://example.com. Documentation is in its early days so these are likely not documented.

I'll be checking on this at some point for sure but if you're feeling adventurous I can definitely help reviewing a PR to either fix what is supposed to work or just add it to the docs.

btw added you as a collaborator to the project in case you want to get more involved. thanks for the recent reports!

Yeah it's really extremely low priority, so don't feel obligated to take a look anytime soon. Thanks for the invite, I'll see if I can contribute anything worthwile
