New Downloads and Collections Menus
Thanks 😄
Is there a way to see all the available command line switches for browsers like Chrome and Edge? 🙂
HotCakeX we were just talking about this with the feature teams recently. No ETA yet but we're working on putting out some documentation on the command line switches for Microsoft Edge 😃
- if you can add a way in edge://flags, to mannually enable feature it would be nice (because modify a shorcut with cmd config isn't really user-friendly, and in the other hand, if you add it on edge://flags if edge crash you can see what features have caused this crash more easily.
- Thanks, I see what you mean now,
I agree we need something like that, because we can't add command line switches straight to the .exe, we can only do it to shortcuts, or make a .bat file and launch the .exe with those parameters.
so an area inside Edge settings like here
edge://settings/system
to add commandline switches directly to the "msedge.exe" would be great!
- Thank you!
by the way, could you please add Microsoft Doc's Edge portal
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/
under "More Resources" section in here ?

that's a valuable resource and lots of info reside thereAdded the resource, sorry for the delay there - agreed this is a great link to have on the sidebar.
HotCakeX I think the command line switches for Edge and https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/ is the same.
But for list of all flags/features, we need the developer or browser source code. Searching in msedge.dll with a hex editor is not the best pastime. And I did it for specific features, not for all existing ones.
- I don't think they are the same, these switches for CollectionsHub and DownloadsHub won't be working in Chrome cuz it doesn't have these, right?
'--enable-features=' - is a command line switch.
'msDownloadsHub' - is a feature/flag.
First ones are basically the same, second ones are not.
Using switch '--enable-features=' you can turn on several features.
