All the Secret Addresses of Google Chrome: Advanced Settings, Personal Data, Logs …

Although most users only use Google Chrome to browse the web and, at most, tweak a few settings from the settings panel, Google’s browser hides many more secrets. In this article, we are going to show you all the internal addresses of Google’s browser — addresses that will let us uncover the browser’s hidden features.

These addresses are available to all Google Chrome users. To access them, simply copy them into the browser’s address bar and press “Enter” to navigate to the page in question. An internet connection is not required, so they are always available and can even help us troubleshoot certain browser issues.

All addresses are always accessible under “chrome://about”. By typing this address, you can see a list of all these addresses and navigate to them with a click.

However, Google has not added a description of what each one does. And that is precisely what we are going to explain here.
