Add to Launcher (Steam,GOG) - Info for parameters

I saw a short discussion in Discord about this. Maybe someone else find this helpful, if not just ignore it :slightly_smiling_face:

As many know you can add external games to most launchers. 

If you want to get a neat windows without URL Bar just use parameter "--app=" and add the Command to your favourite game launcher.

For example:

PATH TO CHROME\chrome.exe --app=https://stadia.google.com/player/42503ac2cfcf40018c15c86b86a5508drcp1

 You can also create a profile for Stadia without any addons and use this parameter (replace "Default" with your new Profile):

--profile-directory=Default

This is awesome, how do deal with Steam hijacking the Stadia button? I usually quit Steam before playing Stadia.

The best thing I'm getting out of this is creating profiles in Chrome to disable addons and plug-in? You can do that?!

Addons are only installed in the active profile. In Chrome it is no problem to create a completely "blank" profile.

The Steam Button Hijacking is probably more complicated, but i am not sure. Until now i did not use any Controller when using it in Chrome. I am more of the mouse keyboard guy.
