siteA = "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62516355/google-chrome-always-says-google-chrome-was-not-shut-down-properly"
ws.Run "chrome -url " & siteA

And if you want to close it safely : safely_close_chrome_browser.vbs

psCommand = "Cmd /C powershell -command ""Get-Process chrome | ForEach-Object { $_.CloseMainWindow() | Out-Null}"""
ws.run psCommand,0,True

powershell -command "Get-Process chrome | ForEach-Object { $_.CloseMainWindow() | Out-Null}"
