There are 225 Microsoft Edge “flags,” which are features in that you can enable by using the edge://flags feature. edge://flags, or Edge flags, can add extra features and functionality by enabling extra services to your Edge browser by enabling or disabling “flags.”

You can enable (and disable) these flags at any time by accessing the Edge flags menu located within the Edge browser. edge://flags is the hidden location within the browser’s settings where you can enable or disable developer-level features and functions.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to enable Edge flags on almost every platform, including Windows 11, Windows 10, macOS, Android

Enable Edge flags

Follow these steps to Enable Edge flags on any domain and across any platform, including Windows 10, Windows 11, macOS, Android, and even Linux (.deb & .rpm)!

  1. Open the Edge browser on your supported device.
  2. Copy and paste edge://flags into the address bar to go to the flags menu. edge flags
