High-performance storage: From flash drives to server hard drives (April 2018 edition)
These tricks will help old and new Chromebook owners alike get more out of the laptops with Google's OS. There is also a bonus tip for connecting securely to work.
In addition to the three Chrome version channels you can access experimental features not yet implemented in the Stable channel through the flags function.
This is accessed by typing chrome://flags in the URL bar in any browser window. This brings up the list of available features as shown in the image above.
As prominently indicated at the top of this list, these are experimental features and settings that may not be stable on your Chrome installation. Scanning these features shows there are some heavy-duty settings that can change every aspect of Chrome, including how the hardware works. The rule of thumb is to not change anything you don't completely understand to avoid introducing problems.
That said, there are dozens of flags that can change the operation and appearance of Chrome that can be safely toggled on and off at will.
Chromebook Pixel owners and those using the new Acer C720P Chromebook, both with touch screens, will find several flags that can implement changes to the touch operation of Chrome that are useful.
