Disable Google Chrome duplicate in KDE Wayland

This has annoyed me for too long. Here's how you remove the duplicate in the taskbar.

Open the Konsole adn type;

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications/
cp /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/com.google.Chrome.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
kwrite ~/.local/share/applications/com.google.Chrome.desktop

add:
StartupWMClass=google-chrome
under where it says;
[Desktop Entry]

brent

SethStorm666 add:
StartupWMClass=google-chrome
under where it says;
[Desktop Entry]

had to do this one time it was driving me crazy. I had to go into .desktop, too, except I had to tear out google-chrome and leave it blank.

if anyone finds your tutorial in the future I got one for librewolf too 🙂 when it does that

I have noticed that Steam have begone as well with duplicates. But it's no longer needed with Chrome. Seems to be fixed. But with Steam you need to:

StartupWMClass=steam

fixes it.
