[Tip] How to Use Multiple “Disable-Features” Parameters in Chrome and Edge Shortcuts

We have shared many articles in past for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge web browsers which include usage of two secret command-line parameters called “–disable-features” and “–enable-features”. These two parameters or flags can be used in Google Chrome to disable or enable certain features and functionality which is not possible using Chrome settings, chrome://flags page, etc such as removing toolbar buttons, etc.

Following are a few Chrome articles which utilize “–disable-features” parameter:

• [Tip] Remove Media Controls Button from Google Chrome Toolbar
• [Tip] Remove “Extensions” Menu Button from Google Chrome Toolbar
• [Fix] Google Chrome Crashes With “Aw, Snap!” Error on Startup or Opening Websites
• [Fix] Disable Forced Dark Theme Mode in Google Chrome in Windows 10

The “–disable-features” and “–enable-features” parameters are used by putting them in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge shortcut’s properties. We add the parameter at the end of of the text string present in Target text box in shortcut’s properties window as shown in following screenshot:

What if you want to combine or add more than one “–disable-features” or “–enable-features” parameter in Chrome or Edge shortcut properties?

Recently an AskVG reader asked us following question:

In this article, we’ll tell you how to use more than one “–disable-features” or “–enable-features” parameter in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge shortcut properties.

Here we start:

If you’ll put both in default format one after one, it’ll not work. Only one “–disable-features” parameter will work.

To use both parameter and force them working, you’ll need to use following format:

OR

So the trick it, use “–disable-features=” parameter only once and add all desired values after the Equal (=) sign separated by comma. Remember there must be no space between values.

Same trick applies to “–enable-features” parameter.

That’s it.
