Also, keep in mind that these are experimental for a reason, as they could be disabled or removed at any point, so don’t become too attached. They’re not likely to crash your browser or cause problems, but if you do run into any issues, you can set all flags to their default state from the Flags menu. You can try these experimental features pretty safely. If you’ve never played around with flags before, you’ll likely find some really interesting things. Maybe you want to enable Parallel Downloading, a feature that will accelerate download speeds by creating concurrent connections. For instance, try the Smooth Scrolling flag for a stutter-free scrolling experience with the mouse wheel. There are some really good experimental features that you might find useful. While you’re in the Flags menu, it wouldn’t hurt to check out what else is available. Of course, you can reverse this process if you decide to enable them. The media keys will no longer work in Chrome.

Use the drop-down menu beside the flag to disable it and then restart your browser. Once in the Flags window, use the search bar to find “Hardware Media Key Handling,” the official name of the feature. This will open a new tab showing you all the flags currently available for Chrome. To do this type “chrome://flags/” into your URL search bar. The first thing you want to do is access Chrome’s Flags.
