What Are Chrome Flags?

“Trial and error” is the quote that resonates with most of us due to its ability to bring in positive criticisms and change. We have trial rooms in all shopping malls, there are perfume and beauty cosmetics testers available and we even ask for the sweet dishes to taste before we commit to buying them in bulk. Similarly, Chrome Flags is a mechanism that Google has enabled its users to try and test most of the experimental features it wishes to introduce.

There are a number of experimental features that Google has rolled out which promise a smooth and faster browsing experience with enhanced productivity. Some flags affect the way Chrome looks or works and some can be activated to add in new features. Google has yet not introduced these new features into its default setting and therefore users can give their user experience and feedback for them to work on. Users don’t particularly require technical expertise to access these new features and try them out for their desktop development.
