Opera has an indicator which shows what the default value is. Edge-chromium just shows DEFAULT. So I have to guess whether the default value is enabled or disabled.

Please give feedback on my edge://flags settings below. For instance when I have set a value which is already the default or when I have understood the English text wrong and my setting makes things worse in stead of improving security, privacy or performance.

Thanks for help and feedback
