How to activate experimental features in Brave.

Introduction

This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to activate experimental features in the Brave browser. Experimental features, often referred to as “flags,” allow you to test upcoming functionalities before they reach the stable release. Enabling these features can enhance performance, unlock new capabilities, and help Brave developers refine the browser. However, keep in mind that experimental flags may be unstable and could affect browsing security or performance.

Prerequisites and Warnings

Before diving in, consider the following points:

• Backup Your Profile – Creating a backup of your Brave profile ensures you can restore settings if something goes wrong.
• Use at Your Own Risk – Experimental features are not guaranteed stable. You may encounter crashes or unexpected behavior.
• Update Brave – To access the latest experimental flags, ensure you are running the most recent version of Brave.

Accessing the Flags Page

All experimental features in Brave are accessed via the internal flags page. Follow these steps:

1. Open Brave.
2. In the address bar, type brave://flags and press Enter.
3. You will see a warning: “Experiments may harm your browser’s stability or security.” Click Accept to proceed.

Flags Interface Overview

The flags page displays a search box, a list of available flags, and a relaunch button. Each flag entry includes:

• Flag Name – The human-readable label of the feature.
• Description – A brief summary of what the feature does.
• Status Dropdown – Options to Enable, Disable, or leave at Default.

Popular Experimental Features

Below is a table of some commonly used experimental flags in Brave:

Step-by-Step Activation

1. Search for the Desired Flag

Use the search bar at the top of the flags page. Enter keywords like “GPU,” “QUIC,” or “parallel” to filter results quickly.

2. Enable the Flag

1. Locate the flag in the list.
2. Click the dropdown next to it.
3. Select Enabled.

3. Relaunch Brave

After enabling one or multiple flags, a blue button labeled Relaunch appears at the bottom of the page. Click it to restart Brave and apply changes.

Advanced Tips and Troubleshooting

Managing Multiple Flags

If you enable many flags at once and encounter instability, you can:

• Return to brave://flags and disable recently enabled flags one by one to isolate the issue.
• Reset all flags by clicking Reset all to default at the top of the page, then relaunch.

Command-Line Overrides

On desktop systems, you can pass flags directly via the command line:

• Windows: Right-click your Brave shortcut gt Properties gt Target, then append flags, for example:
  …C:Program FilesBraveSoftwareBrave-BrowserApplicationbrave.exe –enable-webgpu –enable-quic
• macOS/Linux: Launch from Terminal with:
  brave-browser –enable-webgpu –enable-quic

Testing Experimental Features

After relaunch, verify the feature is active:

• Use DevTools to inspect performance improvements (e.g., GPU activity).
• Visit web.dev or other testing sites that report feature usage.

Experimental Features on Mobile (Android and iOS)

Android

1. Open Brave on your Android device.
2. Type brave://flags in the address bar.
3. Enable desired flags and tap Relaunch.

iOS

Due to platform restrictions, Brave on iOS offers fewer experimental flags. You can still:

• Open Safari and navigate to about:flags.
• Enable relevant flags, though Brave may not support all Safari flags.

Conclusion

Activating experimental features in Brave can provide early access to cutting-edge web technologies and performance enhancements. While these flags can greatly improve your browsing experience, they come with potential instability. Always proceed with caution, keep backups, and disable any problematic flags. By testing and reporting issues, you also contribute to a more robust Brave browser for everyone.
