Are members using the beta features of Chrome browser by tweaking the about://flags settings?

Privacy enhancement
#disable-hyperlink-auditing
#reduced-referrer-granularity

Security improvements RC (which are available a very long time so they won't give problems)
#extension-content-verification (set to strict)
#enable-permissions-blacklist

Security improvements Beta (most are available since 2012, so on my PC stable for at least two years)
#enable-site-per-process (which I always use with the flag below to for performance and resource)
#enable-top-document-isolation (puts all isolated iframes together in stead of each in its own)
#disallow-doc-written-script-loads
#enable-framebusting-needs-sameorigin-or-usergesture

Since people may change the setting based on hitting this from google I feel the need to add a correction.

It was said earlier in this thread, that appcontainer set to default on win 8.1 was leaving it enabled (with a whitelist), I had it enabled and verified it was working in process explorer, but when I switch to default the process reverted to untrusted (not in appcontainer).

So it seems default now has new less secure behaviour, thought I would give this heads up.
