Anything similar to "about:config
" (Firefox) In Google's Chrome ?
There is no about:config at the moment.
the feature request on chromium was closed on July 22nd with the status WontFix so you'll probably have to keep bumping the original feature request or open a new request here with additional ideas or features than the previous.

4@Hitesh No, it is still unavailable. Although you will never get the amount of customization in Chrome that you will have with about:config in Firefox, Chrome://flags might be of use in Chrome. – Daniel41550 Nov 5 '16 at 19:03

Yes, and no. If by about:config
, you mean "special page that lets you configure secret stuff, then it's there, and you can access it through about:flags
.
If you want the complete list of pages available on Chrome, try about:about
.

Was looking for a way to disable DASH (media source) in Chrome, finally found your answer here. Saved my day! Thanks! – theaws.blog Apr 12 '16 at 3:43
Using about:about
converts to chrome://about
which consists of ALL settings pages available for Chrome:
On a Google Support forums question entitled "Is there an about:config", on July 10, 2009, user "PatrickB1991" responded with the following:
No, currently there is no about:config page...
But you can vote for
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=16362
and hope it will get implemented sometimes.

1Your comment is poorly written -- as if Google Support wrote a page titled "Is there an about:config?" with Google seemingly telling people they can vote for it. None of it is the case. Your markup just makes it appear so. Google hasn't encouraged anyone to vote for the feature, and the linked content isn't a question, it's a feature request from a random user. – amn Oct 20 '19 at 23:46

There's nothing that's exactly identical to Firefox's about:config
, but I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned Chrome's about:flags
feature. You can use this to turn on/off experimental browser features. It doesn't give you the granularity that Firefox provides, but it can allow you to do some cool things.

There is chrome://settings
.
It is not a table, as about:config
in Firefox, it's tabbed, with tree structure. Every settings page has a URI (chrome://settings/advanced
) and even individual options could be linked – for now only using search and clicking on a section of interest (chrome://settings/search#sync
).

1this is, as of the current date, the same as clicking the wrench icon to get to standard settings. – Jeff Atwood Sep 1 '12 at 6:21
