Dev channel update to 88.0.702.0 is live
HotCakeX You know i been wondering this a long time, What the hell is the default setting when you are giving options and None of them say, "enabled equals-default", disabled equals not default" sure would help many folks out if these options were explained a bit more in the settings.
Dad2JTK The biggest problem with "default" is that the value of any given flag could be changed by an experiment at any given time (although most flags actually aren't experimented with), but they usually start out as disabled since flags are primarily a way to just keep code turned off until we're sure it's ready, so instead of "default", I think of it as "probably disabled". There are, of course, exceptions, like the the edge://flags/#edge-experimental-scrolling, which is on by default but we keep the flag around since we continue to use it for new scrolling features, and flags that are more than just binary enabled/disabled. I definitely agree that it would be nice to be able to peek behind the default though and know whether something is actually enabled or not, so for anybody else who hasn't filed feedback that they would like us to add that functionality, please do so we can properly prioritize it!
