Hello chums,

My workplace is using a load of Atlassian platforms now (I quite like them actually) and I've set my mac to open chrome on log in, with a couple of tabs (dashboards, calendars, whatever).

However, Chrome opens before the computer has properly connected to the network and done the authentication thingies, so I get a window with 4 blank tabs showing the 'reload' message.

Can I either make Chrome refresh all tabs at once? (edit - I found an extension that does that, I sometimes forget about Chrome Extensions...) ... Or even better, wait for a bit before loading?

I realise that I could stop Chrome opening at startup and manually click on the icon in the dock, but where's the fun in that?

However you're setting Chrome to open on startup, can you not add a delay to that of a few seconds to allow the network to initialise, same as a delay in a batch file on Windows?

I haven't set Chrome to open at logon, but a couple of weeks ago it just started doing so, with no intervention from me. I've tried to disable it, but it just keeps re-enabling itself.

I suspect sabotage.

Okay, save this html file somewhere onto your computer, and set it as your homepage.

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Wait!</title>

    <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

    <style>
        body {
            font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
            padding: 20px;
            color: #444;
        }

        textarea {
            width: 50%;
            height: 100px;
        }

        input {
            width: 100px;
        }

        .hide {
            opacity: 0;
            transition: all 2s;
        }

        .hide.show {
            opacity: 1;
        }

        .warning {
            border: 1px solid rgba(85, 0, 0, 0.5);
            background: rgba(85, 0, 0, 0.3);

Oh, the font styling won't work, d'uh. Never mind.

It could automatically open the pages when you've got an internet connection, actually. That would be much more sensible.

Here you go - you've got two seconds to click inside the box (once you set it up) if you want to change it. I also stopped using cookies because we live in the future now.

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Wait!</title>

        body {
            font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
            padding: 20px;
            color: #444;
        }

        textarea {
            width: 50%;
            height: 100px;
        }

        .hide {
            opacity: 0;
            transition: all 2s;
        }

        .hide.show {
            opacity: 1;
        }

        .warning {
            border: 1px solid rgba(85, 0, 0, 0.5);
            background: rgba(85, 0, 0, 0.3);
            padding: 20px;
            display: inline-block;
            border-radius: 5px;
            box-shadow: 5px 5px 20px -5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);

      page_array.forEach(function (p) {

            var h = window.open(p, '_blank');
            if (h) {
               good = true;
            }
         }
      });
      if (good) {
         window.location = first;
      } else {
         document.getElementById('warning').className += ' show';
      }

   function te_focus() {
      clearTimeout(hit_timeout);
   }

   function te_blur() {
