Multiple web applications on Google Chrome

I'm using cairo-dock to open all my applications, some of them are web apps (netflix and messenger), problem is cairo-dock detects window using the window class, so the launcher from netflix might manage the messenger windows, or otherwise.
I was tryng to change the class of each window when it starts by using xprop, but even thought it detects the window name, it won't change it:

[axelectrik@wonderland ~]$ xprop | grep NAME
WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "Messenger"
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "Messenger"
WM_LOCALE_NAME(STRING) = "es_MX.utf8"

[axelectrik@wonderland ~]$ xprop -name "Messenger" -f WM_CLASS 8s -set WM_CLASS "Messenger"
xprop: error: No window with name Messenger exists!

For now, I'm using, chromium for browsing, google chrome for netflix and google-chrome-beta for Messenger, I have enough resouces to handle with 3 browser simultaneusly but still I would prefer to minimize them just using one.

THank you, any help would be great
