"I was reminded of this delightful bit o' nerd bait as I started digging into one such virtual gold mine this week - and that's Google's Chrome Android browser. Chrome is constantly being updated and expanded with interesting new elements, and some of the most intriguing additions of all are actually available to the curious among us well before they're announced or in any way publicly promoted."
"Before we dive in, allow me to issue a standard word of warning: All of these settings are connected to Chrome's flags system, which is a home for under-development options that are still actively being worked on and aren't technically intended for mainstream use. The flags system is meant for expert users and other similarly informed (and/or insane) folk who want to get an early look at advanced items."
"It also evolves pretty regularly, so it's entirely possible some of the settings mentioned here may look different from what I've described or even be gone entirely at some point in the not-so-distant future. What's more, Chrome's flags system has loads of advanced options within it, some of which could potentially cause websites to look weird, Chrome itself to become unstable, or even your ears to start spewing a delightfully minty steam. (Hey, you never know.)"
Chrome for Android contains hidden experimental features accessible via the flags system that provide advanced functionality to power users. These features are available before public announcement through out-of-sight channels and by enabling secret flags. The flags system hosts under-development options that are actively being worked on and are not intended for mainstream use. Many flags are intended for expert or highly informed users and can change frequently or disappear. Enabling flags can cause websites to render incorrectly or Chrome to become unstable. Users should proceed with caution and be prepared for unexpected behavior when testing experimental settings.
