Make your Chrome browser better by enabling a few flags.
To enable a flag follow any link below, and select "Enable" in the menu. Then relaunch Chrome.
If you want to deactivate a flag, go to the link, select "Default" or "Disabled" and relaunch Chrome.
1. Hide full URL path (since Chrome 85)
This cool feature was added a week ago in the new version of Chrome. By enabling it any URL path in omnibox will be hidden.
There are two flags. If you choose first, to see the full path you need to hover on omnibox. Otherwise, you need to interact with the page.
On hover: chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-reveal-steady-state-url-path-query-and-ref-on-hover
On interaction: chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-reveal-steady-state-url-path-query-and-ref-on-interaction

After:
2. Tab hover cards
Flag: chrome://flags/#tab-hover-card-images
By enabling this flag, when you hover on the tab there will be a mini-card of it.
Tip: there will be a normal image only if you had already visited the tab. If not, you'll see the world icon.
Example:
3. Smooth scrolling
Flag: chrome://flags/#smooth-scrolling
Sometimes when you're scrolling down a page it twitches a little. With this flag, we can fix it.
4. Tab strip
Flags:
chrome://flags/#webui-tab-strip
chrome://flags/#webui-tab-strip-demo-options
chrome://flags/#top-chrome-touch-ui
After enabling them you'll get the new tab bar and your browser interface will be changed a lot. Your Chrome will be fullscreen!
Examples:
5. Tab groups
Flag: chrome://flags/#tab-groups
Do you have many open tabs in Chrome? Chrome works on the feature, that allows users to group tabs, change the group name, and color. With it, your productivity will increase!
To create a group, right-click on any tab.
Example:
6. "New" badge on menu items
Flag: chrome://flags/#enable-new-badge-on-menu-items
To keep abreast of new features in Chrome, enable this flag and near any new item, there will be a nice badge.
Example:
That's all I want to say. Thanks for reading!
