In the flags window we will locate each of the following parameters and configure its status like this:
- Override software rendering list (ENABLE)
- Fast Tab / window close (ENABLE)
- Smooth Scrolling (DISABLED)
- Hardware-accelerated video decode (ENABLE)
- Automatic tab discarding (DEFAULT)

Smooth scrolling
Animate the content smoothly when scrolling over the page
Hardware-accelerated video decode
Decode hardware accelerated video where available.
Automatic tab discarding
When enabled, the tabs are automatically discarded from memory when this memory is of low resources, discarded tabs are still visible and will be reloaded when they are clicked
GPU rasterization
Use the GPU to rasterize web content.
Safesearch URLs reporting
With its enablement, untrusted URLs are reported to SafeSearch.
D3D v-sync
This parameter produces v-sync (vertical orientation) signals, allowing D3D to wait for the vertical suppression interval to occur.
Click to open embedded PDFs
This value allows when a PDF add-in is unavailable, a click placeholder is displayed to open for PDFs embedded in websites.
Icons on Media Controls Overflow Menu
