This vid helps get started w/ Chrome flags.

i. there is no single "enable download" flag in Chrome. Downloads are a core feature of the browser, so there's no need for a specific flag to turn them on. However, there are several flags related to download behavior that you might find useful:

**General download flags:**

* **#enable-parallel-downloading:** This flag enables parallel downloading, which can potentially speed up downloads by splitting the file into smaller segments and downloading them simultaneously.
* **#enable-download-autoresume:** This flag enables automatic download resumption in case of network interruptions.
* **#enable-downloads-restart-on-failure:** This flag allows downloads to restart automatically if they fail due to network issues.

**Advanced download flags:**

* **#enable-downthem-all-behavior:** This flag allows Chrome to use the "Download Them All" behavior for links downloaded in bulk, opening a download confirmation dialog for each link.
* **#auto-open-selected-downloads:** This flag automatically opens selected downloads upon completion.
* **#download-bubble-enable:** This flag enables the download bubble feature, which shows a notification banner for completed downloads.

**Security-related download flags:**

* **#disable-safebrowsing-download-protection:** This flag disables Safe Browsing download protection, which warns you about potentially harmful files. Use this with caution!
* **#allow-mixed-content-downloads:** This flag allows downloads from websites with mixed content (such as both HTTP and HTTPS). This can be risky, so use it cautiously.

**Important notes:**

* **Flags are experimental:** These flags are experimental features and might not be stable or bug-free. Use them at your own risk.
* **Restart Chrome:** You need to restart Chrome after changing any flag for it to take effect.
* **Not a magical solution:** These flags might not significantly improve your download experience if your internet connection is the limiting factor.

It's best to leave most of these flags untouched unless you have a specific reason to change them. If you're experiencing download issues, it's more likely due to your internet connection, browser extensions, or antivirus software. You can try troubleshooting those areas first.
