2. Once you are on the Chrome Flags page, search for “ waste“. Now just click on the drop-down menu and choose “Enabled”.
3. Then a “Restart” pop-up window will appear in the lower right corner. Click on it to make changes. Keep in mind that this will restart chrome os so save all your work before pressing the button.
