**do not** run on production sessions.\n\n| URL | Status | Action |\n|---|---|---|\n| `chrome://crash/` | [Stable] | Crash the renderer/tab. |\n| `chrome://kill/` | [Stable] | Kill the current tab. |\n| `chrome://hang/`, `chrome://shorthang/` | [Stable] | Induce hangs to test UI/UX. |\n| `chrome://gpuclean/`, `chrome://gpucrash/`, `chrome://gpuhang/` | [Stable] | GPU reset/crash/hang scenarios. |\n| `chrome://memory-exhaust/` | [Stable] | Attempt to exhaust memory. |\n| `chrome://memory-pressure-moderate/`, `chrome://memory-pressure-critical/` | [Stable] | Simulate memory pressure signals. |\n| `chrome://quit/`, `chrome://restart/` | [Stable] | Exit or restart the browser. |\n| `chrome://badcastcrash/`, `chrome://inducebrowsercrashforrealz/`, `chrome://inducebrowserdcheckforrealz/` | [Stable] | Force hard browser crashes / DCHECKs. |\n\n---\n\n## Deprecated / Removed (with Replacements)\n\n| URL | Status | Replacement / Note |\n|---|---|---|\n| `chrome://net-internals` | **[Deprecated]** | Use `chrome://net-export` (to record NetLogs) and **DevTools → Network** for live capture/inspection. Some workflows: start/stop a NetLog dump, then open with the NetLog viewer. |\n\n---\n\n## Privacy \u0026 Experiments\n\n| URL | Status | Description |\n|---|---|---|\n| `chrome://privacy-sandbox-internals` | **[Stable]** | Live status and diagnostics for Privacy Sandbox APIs (e.g., Topics, Protected/Private State Tokens, Attribution Reporting). |\n| `chrome://flags` | [Stable] | Switchboard for experiments (per-version). |\n| `chrome://topics-internals` | [Build/Flag-gated] | Topics API internals (appears only when enabled). |\n| `chrome://attribution-internals` | [Build/Flag-gated] | Attribution Reporting diagnostics. |\n| `chrome://private-aggregation-internals` | [Build/Flag-gated] | Private Aggregation diagnostics. |\n\n---\n\n## Notes for Edge \u0026 Brave\n\n- **Microsoft Edge**: `edge://edge-urls` lists internal pages. Many `edge://…` pages mirror Chrome’s (`flags`, `gpu`, `net-export`, etc.). Some legacy pages like `edge://net-internals` may still exist but are in the same deprecation path as Chrome’s.  \n- **Brave**: Use `brave://chrome-urls`. The list often displays `chrome://` links but they map to Brave’s internals.\n\n---\n\n## Chrome Apps Deprecation (Context for “Legacy” rows)\n\nChrome Apps are being phased out: deprecation phases began in 2025 with **end-of-life in 2028** (on managed ChromeOS timelines). Keep `chrome://apps` / `chrome://app-service-internals` rows labeled **[Legacy]**; they’re largely irrelevant off-ChromeOS and will diminish over time.\n\n---\n\n## Handy Dev Workflows\n\n- **Network debugging (modern):**  \n  1) Live capture in **DevTools → Network**  \n  2) Long-running or background capture: **`chrome://net-export`** → save NetLog → open in NetLog Viewer.  \n- **Performance investigations:**  \n  - **`chrome://settings/performance`** to tune Memory Saver modes and set always-active site exceptions.  \n  - **`chrome://tracing`** (when available) for low-level traces; or use DevTools Performance panel.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsparkyrider%2Fchrome-secret-menus","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsparkyrider%2Fchrome-secret-menus","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsparkyrider%2Fchrome-secret-menus/lists"}
