How to make Chrome open in kiosk mode even if there's already another instance running?

Solution 1
According to this answer, you need to create a new directory and use it for the user-data-dir
. This should get you started quickly:
chrome --user-data-dir=$(mktemp -d) --kiosk
That will launch an entirely new instance of Crome in kiosk mode. Note the use of mktemp
above to make a temporary directory. Depending on your goals, you may want to save that to a variable and delete it after Chrome exits.
Solution 2
chrome.exe --chrome-frame -kiosk http://www.google.com

I tried
chrome url --kiosk
but it works only when there's no instance running. I also tried
chrome url --kiosk --new-window
but it doesn't solve my problem neither.
