Smartphones have long been popular, and everyone is accustomed to using various apps to meet unique needs. However, as an important entrance, the browser is still a high-frequency application, although it has long lost the flavor of gunsmoke. With the update and iteration of various browsers, the functions of both the built-in and third-party browsers are similar. Fortunately, Google engineers always like to leave behind eggs, so there are many hidden small functions on the Android version of Chrome browser. This is a brief introduction to let you better customize your Chrome browser.

Enter the setting option with the desktop version of Chrome, and the address bar is chrome://settings/ Similarly, to enable the hidden small functions of Android Chrome, just enter in the address bar chrome://flags/ The door of the new world will open to you. In fact, you can easily customize your own unique Chrome browser by opening the list of built-in lab functions of Chrome. Of course, since it is not a stable function, there may be some problems when using it. If there are problems, you can directly click on the top to restore the default settings. However, in my experience, there are basically no serious bugs.

First, I strongly recommend the Home Promo option to Pixel's own son users. After it is enabled, the overall style of Chrome is completely consistent with the latest Pixel Launcher, which is more fashionable visually. At the same time, the address bar and other elements will move from the top to the bottom. Especially for smart phones with larger and larger screens, the operation is more comfortable, and the pressure of single hand control is less. It is no longer necessary to switch several tabs across the whole screen.

Next, Amway uses the Reader Mode triggering option. When it is set to Always, when you open a web page with complex elements, you will be automatically prompted to "display the simplified view". In fact, this function is to force the reading mode of Chrome to be turned on. However, since the automatic recognition of Chrome is always unsatisfactory, it is simply enabled globally, which is particularly suitable for people like the author who like to chase novels in post bars or forums.

Some users may think that the default multi label switching mode of Chrome is not efficient enough, so they can open the Accessibility Tab Switcher. After opening, all the tabs will be directly displayed in the list. Click to switch, and the label switching will be completed in two steps, which will improve the efficiency of the bar. After the tabs are displayed in the list, the beauty is not as good as the original tab display. The beauty or efficiency depends on the user's own needs. For non power users like the author, beauty is the first productivity.

Chrome users on multiple platforms can surely experience the convenience of Google background synchronization. At the same time, Smart Lock can help users automatically save account passwords of common websites, which is particularly comfortable when switching on PC, Android or iOS platforms. However, for unknown reasons, the mobile version of Chrome occasionally shows off and does not prompt to save it to Smart Lock when logging in for the first time, so force saving of passwords is required. Forcibly open the save function, and you don't need to worry about the cuteness of Chrome anymore, but you need to consider the security of Chrome before deciding whether to use it.

In addition to the above options that can intuitively experience the function changes, there are many options in flags that can improve the browsing experience. For example, to achieve smooth scrolling: Smooth Scrolling； Quick end process occupation: Fast tab/window close； Enable QUIC protocol to improve browsing speed: Experimental QUIC protocol, etc. You can customize your own fully personalized Chrome browser according to different needs.

Of course, since it is a homologous Chrome browser, iOS version of Chrome can also be accessed through chrome://flags/ When these experimental options are enabled, the options of iOS are a bit "horrible" compared with the Android version. The article lists some of the options commonly used by the author and briefly introduces their functions, which is only for the purpose of introducing others. If you have some unique usage and experience, please leave a message to discuss.
