Unlike the visible settings for ad-blocking extensions on YouTube, the hidden settings we're about to introduce are features that Google Chrome has discreetly tucked away. However, these features are not less effective than extensions like ad blockers on Google Chrome or many others.
Stay tuned to find out what these features are and how they can benefit your Chrome experience in the article below.
Discovering 9 Hidden Settings on Google Chrome
1. Disable Flash
Similar to Firefox, Chrome had a tough year with Flash plugins. Security vulnerabilities in both Firefox and Google Chrome posed risks to users.
As a result, Google Chrome announced it would freeze unimportant Flash content on the browser by the end of 2016. However, for user security, Flash can still be disabled right now by entering “chrome://plugins/” in the URL bar.
Then select Disable to turn off Flash.
2. Set Shortcuts with Extensions
To configure shortcuts on Extensions, go to the “chrome://extensions” address in the URL bar. Press Enter.
Next, scroll to the bottom of the page and choose Shortcuts.
In the opened dialog, you'll find Extensions for you to choose and set shortcuts. Click there and press the corresponding key.

Afterward, you can tailor the settings within the developer's Extension.
