Chrome is a pretty simple browser on the outside, but there are tons of pages built in for advanced settings, tweaks, tests, and more. All of these pages are hidden behind the chrome:// prefix—here’s a look at some of the best. Before we get into that, however, it’s probably a good idea to explain how these chrome:// pages work.

If that sounds strange to you, well—it was....
