Is Firefox this complicated?

  Firefox has a boatload of things available in about:config.

    So does Chrome though. Can't speak to the overlap with flags. If a large part of it's just exposing all that then I suppose that's good... But wouldn't you just have it be the same key:value pair as on that page, behind a single flag?

      Chrome doesn't have an about:config. There is about:flags (redirects to chrome://flags/) but that intentionally doesn't list all of these.

  I doubt it. Having used Firefox for over a decade, I never had to use flags other than a profile selection option and a safe mode flag. I have come across more flags during my occasional use of Chrome. Firefox's configuration flags are unified in `about:config` page. It has a whole bunch of configurations too, but they are neatly named (e.g `browser.ui.something.enabled`) and I prefer configuration options than flags.
