If url is the URL you want to open in a browser from a Chrome App, you have 2 possibilities:

  1. Opening the URL in the user's default browser:

    window.open(url);

  2. Opening the URL in Chrome specifically, regardless of the default browser setting, there's a recent API:

    chrome.browser.openTab({url: url});

    This requires "browser" permission.
