Inoltre, Chrome mette a disposizione una funzionalità interessante: i flag, ossia un modo di abilitare o disabilitare alcune funzionalità avanzate tramite un URL specifico (visitate about:flags dal vostro Chrome). In particolare, segnalo l’utilità di abilitare “Click to play”, che permette di attivare i contenuti Flash di un sito solo su richiesta esplicita, definendo una white-list di siti autorizzati a utilizzare Flash.
