The easiest way to access all the productivity settings and developer tools hidden in the Google Chrome™ browser.
The Google Chrome™ browser is hiding a number of settings and tools under the prefix “chrome://” as many power users and developers are aware. HiddenTools gives you access to all these Chrome pages and more in a convenient, efficient, and beautiful menu system. Accessible Chrome pages include:
- Applications – all your installed Chrome applications in one place (chrome://apps)
- Bookmarks – the Chrome bookmarks manager (chrome://bookmarks)
- Devices – connected devices such as printers on your network (chrome://devices)
- DevTools - hidden settings for developers (chrome://inspect)
- Dino Game – the scrolling game hidden in your Chrome browser (chrome://dino)
- Downloads – recently downloaded items (chrome://downloads)
- Extensions – manage your installed Chrome extensions (chrome://extensions)
- Experiments – access experimental Chrome features unreleased to the public (chrome://flags)
- History – your web browsing history (chrome://history)
- About Chrome – Chrome version numbers and issue reporting (chrome://chrome)
- Settings – settings including for browser experience (chrome://settings)
- Web Store – the Chrome web store for more apps and extensions (https://chrome.google.com/webstore)
- Print - Prints the current page using Chrome's print dialog
- Source Code - view the current page's source code using the prefix "view-source"

- (2021-08-24) Naccasa Bobi: I was trying to find an extension that is installed but not showing up on the extension page. This extension not only DIDN'T show me all extensions it also didn't show up on the extension page. Fortunately, it does have an uninstall button, unlike some sneaky hidden extensions that don't.
- (2021-07-15) Alan Lee: good
- (2021-05-04) George Wheeler: Great extension, looking forward to learning more, Thank you.
- (2020-09-13) Noel D. Smith (nds80): This extension may be very useful for new app developers/web designers. It doesn't really do anything you can't easily find a command for in Google, but it does compile advanced Chrome functions into an interactive list. However, you could just make your own list with the existing bookmarks structure and a little research instead of adding another extension under the native button. So you can use this extension to open your extensions, but you have to open your extensions to get to this extension. I'd probably suggest you just drop extensions from the list if you're not going to make it do any tricks. Maybe you could make the native extensions button more attractive, or make the grid menu more interactive, and add a function to open the bookmarks editor from the <Hyperlink> context menu. Then it would be a 5 star extension, and worth keeping. If you implement any of my suggestions, let me know and I'll change my rating.

- (2020-07-17) Mickaël BELLANGER: great tool. a bug appear with Settings > Appearance. redirects to "cchrome://settings/appearance" (double "c"). and could you please use the native language of the browser (if possible), for non-English speakers
