Regardless of whether you use a Chrome browser on Windows, Mac or Android, there are several methods to evaluate performance or test upcoming Google Chrome features. Best of all, it won’t be necessary to change software because there is Chrome Flags. It is a tool that makes it possible to test experimental functions of the browser.
Enabling Chrome Flags is a simple procedure that poses no risk to the device.
In addition to the experimental options, Chrome Flags allows users to disable some sections of the browser if problems occur on the platform. Here we will give the steps to employ Flags in the right way, it is a simple and safe procedure that will only take a couple of minutes.
How to enable Chrome Flags?
– Go to chrome://flags in your Google Chrome browser (copy and paste the link in the browser).
– Type the name of the flag in the search bar. If you do not remember the exact flag, you can find it through the process or task running the tool.
– Click on the drop-down menu next to the flag you are going to enable.
– Then, click on “Enabled.”
– Select “Restart” to restart Chrome and prepare the flag you want to test.
When you finish the procedure, Google Chrome will close and restart. If you are a Chromebook user, you should note that, depending on the flag, it is possible that the whole system will restart. The system makes it possible to enable several flags at once so as not to repeat the process for each function.
It should be noted that, if you enable the wrong flags, you will cause the browser to not work properly. In a case like this you will have to uninstall and reinstall Chrome to solve the problem. The best thing to do in this case is not to mess with the flags you don’t know, so you will avoid several unexpected failures of the browser.
The best thing to do in this situation is to trigger the flags that you know and that you know how they will influence the user experience of the browser. To avoid surprises, back up your Chrome bookmarks and data.
