This was integrated by default not long after the introduction of Edge Chromium so the flag was superfluous quite some time ago.#edge-de-elevate-on-launchis gone
Not sure about this one. Maybe relevant for enterprises?

Tip: DON'T enable this flag if you watch videos in the new Chromium Edge
For a few weeks, I had a bug where I couldn't play any video content in MSEdge, and thought it was just because I was on the canary channel. I thought the bug would resolve itself, but after a while, I realized that something must be wrong as I was the only one experiencing the bug.
After thinking about it some more, and getting really fed-up that I couldn't watch videos of any sort (from Reddit, YouTube, Twitter, etc), I decided to look at the flags I had enabled to see if any of them were causing the issue, and low and behold, disabling this one did the trick.
If you like to enable flags to test new features: DON'T ENABLE THIS ONE! Something about it ruins Edge's ability to play video content, and just shows a black screen instead of the video.
If you know what it does, or you're testing the flag, power to you! Otherwise, just stay away from it.
Enjoy the new Edge experience! I'm excited to see these new vertical tabs.... Seems like an interesting idea....

Any explanation on why #reduced-referrer-granularity is not needed anymore?
Looks like according to Edge it's on by default.
Modify the referer only result in breaking legit website stuff.
For privacy it doesn't increase anything as sites can and will use other methods to check which sites are used before. And even with that, they more care about fingerprinting
Still my opinion through
#reduced-referrer-granularity is enabled by default since Chromium 85:Chrome Platform Status

Manifest v3 will integrate some of these newer flags. I wonder how few I'll have enabled then?

Flag: Anonymize local IPs exposed by WebRTC seems to be removed even on other chromium-based browsers...

This one and some other familiar security/privacy flags have been removed or incorporated into browsers. I have only 4 or 5 in Brave and Edge.
These are now gone:
Code:
#extension-content-verification
#enable-mark-http-as
#show-legacy-tls-warnings
#post-quantum-cecpq2

What are your enabled flags nowadays?

You can bring them back with this flag:
Code:
#temporary-unexpire-flags-m86
If must be a reason why they're remove these.
I also try using less as possible flags.
But thanks for this tip!
