Google Chrome commands

[key_man10]

Hi,

In Firefox there is a command "about:config" that allows you to change all manner of settings.

Does anyone know if there is a similar command in Google Chrome?. I regularly make changes to the search functions but they expire as soon as I close the browser.

Hi key_man10,

 

As far as I am aware there is no "about:config" section in Google Chrome.

 

There is however a whole list of other info/option pages spread out over a number of pages. Try some of these commands in the URL bar - obviously please proceed with caution and make sure you backup your settings before enabling some of the experimental features.

 

about:appcache-internals

about:blob-internals

about:view-http-cache

about:credits

about:dns

about:flags

about:gpu

about:histograms

about:memory

about:net-internals

about: plugins

about:stats

about:sync-internals

about:tasks

about:tcmalloc

about:terms

about:version

 

The best hidden feature that I have found is under about:flags - "Confirm to Quit" - a feature which FireFox has but Chrome is only testing at the moment.

 

For your reference I am running Mac OS X with Chrome 10.0.6 - some of these pages may or may not work on Windows version.

Many thanks Mike. I'll give them a go.
