Chrome's Secret Features



We all love finding finding hidden treasure (Easter Eggs) in video games and DVDs, but were you aware of the hidden features hidden in Chrome? Of course these experimental functions, most of which can be used with Chrome OS. Start by typing “chrome://flags” in the browser and you’ll see dozens of cool functions like enabling smooth scrolling, GPU-accelerated rendering of SVG and CSS filters, pre-loading instant search, enabling experimental pipelining of HTTP requests, enable gamepad support, and enabling experimental HTML implementation of the task manager dialog, to name a few. Note that some features require a Chrome OS restart. Have fun!
