When running Chrome Beta Portable and changing a flag in chrome://flags, where (in which file) is the status of this flag being saved?

I tried running a program monitoring all the files in the Chrome Portable directory but it was next to impossible to determine which of the changes belonged to the newly set flag.

1 Answer

They are stored in the Browser block of the the plain-text file Local State, which is located in the User Data directory.

For example, the file

%localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Local State

Would contain something like:

{ … "browser": { "enabled_labs_experiments": [ "disable-gpu-vsync", "extension-apis", … ], … } …
}
