Secret options in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera

Today I m going to tell you Secret options in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera Browsers.
All these 3 browsers come with a secret page which allows you to enable or disable many advanced settings which are not generally available to configure from browser Options window.

1) Google Chrome :-
If you are a Google Chrome user, you can access a secret configuration page using following steps:

1. Type about:flags or chrome://flags in Chrome's addressbar and press Enter. It'll open the advanced configuration page.
2. This page contains many experimental features and other advanced tweaks which can be enabled or disabled by clicking on Enable or Disable link given below the option description.
3. As soon as you enable or disable an option, a new "Relaunch Now" button automatically appears at bottom which can be used to restart Google Chrome to take effect.

If you want the complete list of pages available on Chrome,
Use about:about or chrome://about
It gives ALL settings pages available for Chrome.

2) Mozilla Firefox :-
If you are a Mozilla Firefox user, you can access a similar secret configuration page using following steps:

1. To access this page simply type about:config in Firefox's addressbar and press Enter. It'll ask for confirmation, click on I'll be careful, I promise! button.
2. The page contains 3 types of preferences:
*  String
*  Boolean
*  Integer
3. You can double-click on the desired preference and change its value.

"About:config" page allows you to tweak lots of hidden settings of Mozilla Firefox. You can enable or disable many features and options on the fly.

3) Opera :-
If you are a Opera user, you can access a similar secret configuration page using following steps:

1. Type opera:config in Opera's addressbar and press Enter. It'll open Opera Preferences Editor page.
2. Here you can tweak various settings and features in Opera.
Note:- There are many more similar secret pages in Opera. Just type opera: in Opera's addressbar and a drop-down list will automatically appear showing all secret pages such as opera:cache, opera:debug, etc

So now you can Configure your browser using these built-in hidden configuration settings.
