`window.open` on the second monitor in Chrome

When I'm using firefox and then using window.open('blah.com','blah','left=-30,top=-300');, the popup opens in my second display above my first one but in chrome, the popup just opens at left=0,top=0. Is there a reason why chrome is doing this and how would I fix the problem?

Thanks!

Take a look at this StackOverflow's post Center a popup window on screen?

I've made a little upgrade for that function a couple of years ago.

function multipleScreenPopup(url, title, w, h, centered = true, moveRight = 0, moveDown = 0, resizable = "no") {
  // Fixes dual-screen position                         Most browsers      Firefox
  var dualScreenLeft = window.screenLeft != undefined ? window.screenLeft : screen.left;
  var dualScreenTop = window.screenTop != undefined ? window.screenTop : screen.top;

  var width = window.innerWidth ? window.innerWidth : document.documentElement.clientWidth ? document.documentElement.clientWidth : screen.width;
  var height = window.innerHeight ? window.innerHeight : document.documentElement.clientHeight ? document.documentElement.clientHeight : screen.height;

  var left = 0;
  var top = 0;
  if (centered === true) {
    left = ((width / 2) - (w / 2)) + dualScreenLeft;
    top = ((height / 2) - (h / 2)) + dualScreenTop;
  } else {
    left = dualScreenLeft + moveRight;
    top = dualScreenTop + moveDown;
  }

  var newWindow = window.open(url, title, 'directories=no,titlebar=no,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=' + resizable + ', width=' + w + ', height=' + h + ', top=' + top + ', left=' + left);

  // Puts focus on the newWindow
  if (window.focus) {
    newWindow.focus();
    }

}

// centered as of the monitor that fired on it
multipleScreenPopup('https://google.com', '_blank', 500, 500);

// move from the left and from the top
multipleScreenPopup('https://yahoo.com', '_blank', 500, 500, false, 200, 200);
