Chrome Flags Enable – How To Enable-10 Best Chrome Flags

Chrome Flags enable allows you to customize the browser settings according to your needs. You can also use this feature to make your browsing experience more secure by enabling or disabling certain features.

If you are using Google Chrome as your web browser then you must be aware of the fact that there are some options available to customize the browser settings. These options allow you to control various aspects of the browser such as privacy, security, and performance.

If you’re a big fan of Google’s omnipresence browser, knowing how to enable Chrome flags will unlock a lot of hidden features that you might not know about. Granted, many of Chrome’s secret features aren’t of much help to the average user, with advanced settings like “Allow Omnibox context web on-focus suggestions” likely to go over most people’s heads. Still, learning how to enable Chrome flags can still come in handy; giving you the ability to access cool features, such as forcing dark mode on every site.

Given Chrome’s open nature, you can enable Chrome flags on Windows (Mac, Android, and iOS), and even Linux. All you need to type is a short URL into your browser, whether that’s a desktop or mobile device. It’s worth noting that most flags are meant for testing, so caution is advised before enabling them, as they could break your browser. As a general rule of thumb, though it’s best to leave things alone unless you’re unsure of what they do.

How To Enable Google Chrome Flags

• Open the Chrome browser
• Enter the chrome://flags in Chrome Search Bar.
• Search the flag name into the Flag search bar.
• Click the drop-down menu next to the flag you want to enable.
• Click Enabled.
• Restart Your browser to Enabled Chrome Flag.

10 Best Chrome Flags

 1. Dark Mode For Every Website

The “dark mode” flag in Chrome can make pages much easier on the eyes, but it isn’t perfect. Sometimes websites look a bit broken when this flag is enabled. If you come across a website that doesn’t look quite right, you can quickly disable the dark mode flag and go back to the normal way of things with just a couple of clicks.

Enable dark mode on all websites by searching “Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents“or #enable-force-dark search in the flag search bar, then clicking/tapping “Enabled” next to the flag, and finally clicking/tapping “Relaunch.”

2. Parallel Downloading

The Next Chrome flag on our list is the called Parallel Downloading. This technique is used to speed up downloads by breaking files into smaller parts that can be downloaded at the same time. Rather than downloading sequentially, this allows for multiple downloads to happen simultaneously, which can make a big difference, especially when downloading large files. This is called multi-threading and is a common feature of download managers like IDM or FDM. You can use it in Chrome for Desktop and on the Mobile Version of Chrome.

You can enable it by searching for “Parallel Downloading or Copy Paste chrome://flags#enable-parallel-downloading in the Search bar.

3.Save And Autofill UPI/VPA 

With the rising popularity of UPI in India, Google is also planning to integrate the UPI system into its browser. This flag will allow you to save your UPI details on your browser, which you can use as auto-fill when making purchases online. You can use this flag on your Desktop and Mobile Version of Chrome browsers.

You can enable it by searching for “ UPI/VPA ” on the Chrome Flag page or pasting –
