I had disabled Extensions Toolbar Menu with following command line option:
--disable-features=ExtensionsToolbarMenu
With new updates, this option stopped to work. "Extensions Toolbar Menu" hides the active extensions. I need to see all my active extensions.
Open Chrome & type chrome://flags/ in the URL and hit enter
Search for Extensions Toolbar
Open the dropdown and select Disabled
Restart Chrome

Is it possible to open Chrome Developer Tools to inspect a Chrome App ?
All debuggable targets are listed under chrome://inspect/. See the 'Apps' tab.
I managed to do it by following instructions to debug postman chrome app:
Go to chrome://flags/
Search for Debugging for packed apps
Enable this flag
Restart chrome
Then go to your app, right-click anywhere inside of it, and click on the option menu inspect.
To open it by context menu, enable at chrome://flags/#debug-packed-apps
If the app blocks the context menu, find it at chrome://extensions (developer mode) or the Apps and Extensions Developer Tool.
After closing Chrome, certain extensions keep running on the background (like Drive or Hangouts).
Without disabling a extension, can I control which ones can keep running after Chrome is closed?
By default Chrome allows applications/extensions to keep running in the background to provide their services like updates and notifications. This is handy for keeping you updated with notifications on Facebook or a new email in Gmail.
You can stop Chrome from running in the background from the Chrome settings.
Click on Chrome’s main menu and select “Settings.”
Scroll down and click on “Show advanced settings.”
Scroll down to the extreme bottom and uncheck the option “Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed” under the “System” heading.
same with images is here https://www.maketecheasier.com/stop-google-chrome-running-background/
Use the chrome task manager to stop the extensions you want.
To open chrome’s task manager, click the “More” button (three dots), hover over “More Tools,” and then click on “Task Manager.” Alternatively, press Shift+Esc on Windows or Search+Esc on Chrome OS to open Task Manager.
Chrome task manager shows the list of open web pages and chrome extensions that are running.
Select the extensions you want to stop and then press End process
But if you only want to disable them from running in the background after closing Chrome:
Windows:
Ctrl + Shift + Esc
Mac:
Hit Command+Spacebar to bring up the Spotlight search field.
Type in “Activity Monitor”
Hit the Return key when “Activity Monitor” populates in the spotlight results.
You are now in Activity Monitor where you can manage and manipulate tasks.
Select the extensions process and press the End task button (Windows) or select the process and press the x button in the upper left.
You can click the 3 bar on the far right side of the chrome; click settings; click extensions right above that; then disable which ever extensions you do not want running. Often times if you have a ton of add-ons/extensions disabling these can speed up browsing. Happy surfing!
I am using chrome version 36+
according to this page, I should be able to allow custom themes using the following instructions:
Installation Instructions
Add this theme
Goto chrome://flags and Enable Developer Tools experiments.
Open developer tools settings, select Experiments tab, and check 'Allow custom UI themes'.
Reload devtools.
I do not see such a tab in the dev tools settings. I see only 'general', 'workspace', and 'shortcuts'
These are some simple steps to follow, hope it will be helpful.
Open a new chrome tab, type chrome://flags
Find, "Enable Developer Tools experiments." using ctrl/cmd+f or simply searching for it by scrolling down the page.
Click the "enable" link
Click on "Relaunch Now" at the bottom of the page.
After restarting Chrome, open DevTools, DevTools settings, and select the experiments tab.
Now select the experiment you want (e.g. "Allow custom UI themes").
You need to reload devtools after: Alt-R will reload devtools itself, or you can just close and reopen it.
To get to the Dev Tools Experiments area you have to click on the gear icon in the inspector.
If still not working you should go to:
chrome://extensions/
And click the 'Enable' checkbox for the DevTools extension you wish to enable.
Had the same issue,
I found I was going to browser settings which is NOT where you should be going to ,
You need to go to developer setting .
i.e right click>inspect element> dev tools
You need to restart the browser after changing the flag at chrome://flags
I found it. There is a checkbox under experiments tab:
Allow custom UI themes
Restart chrome just not means to close the chrome and then open it. you should click the 'Relaunch Now' button of the flags tab. and then it's work for me.
loislo's answer is absolutely right (You need to restart the browser after changing the flag at chrome://flags). But notice that your chrome can work in the background. Go to the tray, look for the chrome icon and exit.
Navigate to chrome://flags/
Find and enable Developer Tools experiments Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS
Relaunch Chrome, open develop tool, setting, you will see experiments tab.
My Chrome version: Version 61.0.3163.100
2022 update: There doesn't seem to be any option in chrome://flags but there is an option:
devtools > settings > experiments > Allow extensions to load custom stylesheets
I frequently use the overrides tab in Chrome Developer tools to emulate other device such IPhone and IPad, but after upgrading to last version (32.0.1700.76 m) everything in the overrides tab is gone and replaced by a checkbox saying "Show 'Emulation' view in console drawer".
Checking this checkbox does not enable a 'Emulation' view in the Console drawer. The "Show Console" button seems to be disabled.
See here for more information.
Before starting open the dev tools console (on a Mac cmd-option-i)
Open the Settings panel within the dev tools console (click gear icon on right side)
Check "Show 'Emulation' view in console drawer (looks like you have already done this step) and close screen
Switch to the sources tab of the dev tools console
Press Esc to bring up a screen that slides in from the bottom
Select the Emulation tab on that second screen
There is also a note in the link above stating:
Note: Emulation tools within DevTools were previously contained within
an Overrides pane inside the Settings panel. The Emulation panel is
the new Overrides pane.
After installing Chrome (or the bleeding edge version Chrome Canary) you should be able to do proper mobile emulation within Chrome's Developer Tools. I usually activate them by Right Clicking > Inspect Element
For visual learners like myself, I just included a full screenshot.
I'm running Google Chrome version 58.0.3029.110, where the Emulation is no longer available, but all of the features are still available:
Device & Screen
Press Ctl + shift + m or click on Toggle device toolbar, you'll find these in the upper middle of your browser tab. (You'll find more options in the More option section.)
User Agent & Sensors
User Agent is now renamed as Network Conditions and can be found in the Customise and control DevTools > More tools > Network conditions. Sensors can also be found in the same location (ie. Customise and control DevTools > More tools > Sensors).
"Show Emulation view in console drawer" message confusing.
Generally our chrome dev tool bar tab selected as a console tab or we try to find out in console tab.
Problem is , Console drawer will not opened when your console tab selected.
I seem to have solved it. When I upgraded to Chrome Canary (Version 34.0.1789.0 canary) the problem was solved.
http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/chrome/browser/canary.html
I run into this problem, and it took me a while to figure it out, despite the answers here. I am on Version 37.0.2062.103 m. First, in this version, there is no Override pane, neither "Show 'Emulation' view in console drawer either. It is turned on by default (I guess), but a little bit hidden. The key is to first press ESC key in dev mode (now I'm not sure if it's on by default). You should see a pane with 4 "tabs" including "Emulation" at the bottom. I quoted tabs because it appeared more like a status bar to me and I keep clicking it and nothing happens, until I accidentally resized the pane.
Sweet... This behaviour (running device emulation and debug mode) works in Chromium on Linux Ubuntu by hitting F12 and then the drawer icon. :)

I need to run a web-based app inside Chrome but it must appear as if the app is standalone. I dont want any tools or frames to be visible.
Yes I know I can press F11 but this isnt sufficient as I dont want the tools to appear when I move the mouse to the top of the screen.
Do I need to go to the extents of making a Chrome extension and utilizing a possible fullscreen feature?
From the linux man page:
--app=URL
Runs URL in "app mode": with no browser toolbars.
e.g. invoke it with google-chrome --app=http://example.com
Start Chrome with the --kiosk flag. Then, no borders etc. will be shown. Furthermore, pressing F11 will not exit this mode, so it's the most effective way of running a Kiosk-like app.
chromium --kiosk http://example.com/
Replace chromium with the path of your actual Chrome executable (e.g. chrome.exe).
In the new Chrome (v88) it might be required to add --user-data-dir parameter to remove the title bar, so the line would go like this:
chrome.exe --user-data-dir=c:\temp --kiosk http://google.com
If you open Chrome in app mode, like Trever suggests, then borders will still be visible.
If you want a windowed app with no menus on mac, the steps have changed since #PaulR responded.
The new steps are as follows:
navigate to
chrome://flags
Enable the following two options:
"The new bookmark app system"
"Allow hosted apps to be opened in windows"
Restart Chrome to enable the options.
Then navigate to the page you want to turn into an "app".
In the tools menu (three dots) click More Tools > Add to Applications
Finally, navigate to
chrome://apps
and right click on the icon for the newly added Application. Enable the "Open as window" option.
Go ahead and create the shortcut, then open Chrome Apps chrome://apps. The shortcut icon should be in there. Right click on the app icon and check "Open as window." After that, the shortcut will open as a window.

You can create create shortcuts from Chrome itself....
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95710?hl=en-GB
^ this link no longer works.
The feature is called "Create application shortcuts". To enable it in newer versions of Chrome, go to:
chrome://flags/
... using the address bar. Then find "The new bookmark app system" and Disable it. Then click Relaunch Now at the bottom of the screen.
Now, in the "More tools" menu there will be the "Create application shortcuts" menu entry.
There may be another way to do this, but this is just clarifying the method that was supposed to be described in the link.
Like many others have said, --app=<url> should do it for Chrome Version: 83.0.4103.61. The --kiosk option opens a chrome tab, not a borderless "app" window. I'm on macOS Catalina and decided to brew cast install chromium and ran:
chromium --app=https://netflix.com
Unfortunately I could not stream Netflix from Chromium..
