## Description

OnChrome is a convenient Chrome extension designed to automatically open specified URLs in Google Chrome every time you visit them, enhancing your browsing experience especially if you use multiple browsers. This is particularly useful if some services, like Hangouts or Meet, work better in Chrome compared to other browsers. 

Note: OnChrome requires installation of an additional native application for seamless operation. This combination ensures your chosen URLs always launch in Chrome, streamlining your workflow. Installation instructions and the required application can be found at the official site: [https://onchrome.gervas.io/native-applications](https://onchrome.gervas.io/native-applications).
