Are you talking about all browsers? Your title specifically mentions Chrome but the post mentions Chrome, Safari and I assume you mean Firefox (Mozilla isn’t a browser).

If you want to open a link in a new tab using JS, you can use something like

link.target = "_blank";

That is if I’ve understood your question correctly.

I think that instead he wants to maintain a constant connection between his server and the phone, even when the tab is different or the browser is closed. There is no JavaScript that can help with that.

I think that as this is primarily a mobile issue, that the people in the Mobile forum might be in a better position to help out with this thread. I’ll move this thread over there.

I don’t know if this is of any use (or indeed relevant) but you can tell when a tab/page becomes active again.

alert('Hello for the first time');
// Handle page visibility change events
function handleVisibilityChange() {
  if (document.visibilityState == "visible") {
  	alert('Welcome back')
	}
}
document.addEventListener('visibilitychange', handleVisibilityChange, false);

Works on my iphone.
