[solved] Why can't we use Edge://Flags on Edge Android?

Update: we can access Edge://flags on Edge Android now

 

Edge for Android is based on Chromium, so why can't we access the Chromium flags?

I tried Edge://flags , Chrome://flags , about://flags . none of them worked

 

why Edge on Android doesn't let user access the flags to modify the settings?

    HotCakeX That's nice. I was also trying to do the same. I don't get any information anywhere but I do found some good Edge Flags that work on PC. Going to try them on Android as well.

      Yes, some internal pages might work on Edge mobile too but in order to have more flags and features the Chromium version inside Edge mobile needs to be updated to a more recent one 🙂

        Still waiting for the day when Chromium will be updated for Edge Android. 

  • holy cow I had no idea you couldn't. I've come to expect it from all Chromium based browsers. There's so much you can't change!

      Yeah, also it's not just that, there are many useful URLs to access in a chromium based browser, you can get full list of them in here:
      edge://about/
      unfortunately I can access none of them on Edge on Android
