Description

Hi,

New versions of Chrome introduce new and remove old flags. I really hate to dig through the whole list of flags with each new version, checking which ones I may need to tune to my liking or not (+ some are not even documented).

How can one monitor which ones are added/removed/modified from version to version? (and possibly for documentation on each)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Chromium stores and defines flags (e.g., in chrome/browser/flag descriptions.cc or similar) and write a script to compare flag lists between two Git tags of Chromium.
