    Hi @3bdulh NaBiL

    Are you using Windows system? If so, the Edge flags are located at %localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Local State file.

    You can right click the file to open it with Notepad. Then search enabled_labs_experiments in the file, the Edge flags data are in that value.

    For example, I disabled Smooth Scrolling and enabled GPU rasterization in Edge flags, the value in Local State file is "enabled_labs_experiments":["enable-gpu-rasterization@1","smooth-scrolling@2"].

    Unfortunately it doesn't work that way because Edge simply overwrites the file when you reopen it. But I have no idea why. Nothing can be found in the registry either.
