List of Google Chrome Settings URLs and Addresses
Do you want to know the list of Google Chrome Settings URLs and Addresses?
No doubt Google Chrome is one of the most popular browsers in the world. It offers plenty of options to customize the browser. You can access the customizations from its settings.
You might or might not be aware that each settings page of the Chrome browser has an internal URL. These URLs give the option to access a particular settings page directly using the URL.
So, in this post, I’ll show you the list of all Google Chrome Settings URLs and Addresses.
Well, Google Chrome also offers numerous hidden features and settings. You can enable the experimental features from Chrome Flags.
Also, the browser offers some internal URLs and pages for developers and advanced users. These internal pages help the users and developers for debugging and troubleshooting browser-related problems.
I’ve also shared the list of Chrome internal pages/URLs and their uses. You can access the list of all internal URLs by typing chrome://chrome-urls in the address bar (Omnibox).
Note that these URLs are different from settings URLs. Most internal pages give the browser hidden information that is not required by normal users.
On the other hand, Chrome Settings URLs give direct access to browser settings that are for normal users.
What are Chrome Settings URLs and Addresses?
Google Chrome provides a wide range of settings that allow users to customize their browsing experience. However, you can access the settings from the settings page. To access the page, click on the Customise and Control Google Chrome (three dots) icon from the option right and select Settings from the drop-down menu.
On the Settings page, you’ll see the different categories of settings that allow you to customize the browser.
But you can also access all different categories using the URLs. The Settings URLs start with the chrome:// followed by a word.
