Hi zlloyd1

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

That is correct, the Advanced Settings menu was removed about as year ago in all the Chromium based browsers like Edge and Chrome, all settings are now just in the Settings menu, try searching for whatever setting you need in there.

Click on the icon in the Chrome tool bar, and select Settings from the menu that pops up (see Figure 1). Scroll down the Settings page that then appears until you find the Show advanced settings link (see Figure 2).

How to Access and Change Hidden Advanced Settings in Chrome and Firefox
April 16, 2024 - When you find the setting you want to change, select Enabled from the drop-down list to the right of that setting. To disable a setting, select Disabled or Default from the drop-down list. These advanced settings are disabled by default. Once you’ve enabled (or disabled) the settings you want, you must restart Chrome for the changes to take effect.

Chrome settings are gone
Vivaldi is great and I don't know why I put up with Google Chrome for so long. I needed to download a file from Google drive onto a USB drive, and when I went to Chrome to try and change the download folder there were no settings. I don't have all afternoon to screw around anytime. Google "updates" Chrome in order to prevent users from configuring it the way that they want to. What other reason could there be to hide settings in Chrome? I even reinstalled Chrome with an old installation file but I ended up with the same version with no settings. I say good luck with that. But sadly, probably 80% of people will put up with whatever abuse. Google shells out – end of course Microsoft too. They are even worse More on reddit.com

r/chrome on Reddit: Advanced Settings nowhere to be found
May 30, 2024 -

I downloaded Adobe and now when I download a PDF in Chrome, it automatically opens it in Adobe. I don't want that. Every help article I'm finding is saying to go to the settings menu, then advanced settings. However, I'm also seeing, for several years, people not able to find the advanced settings menu. I'm in the same boat. There is no advanced settings on the left side of chrome. How can I access this or turn off the fact that chrome auto opens every PDF in adobe? I hate it.

****EDIT****

Thanks to another user CornelG7 that I found on another thread from a while back, the way to fix this from happening is:

To fix go to Adobe -> Preferences -> General -> Uncheck "Open PDFs automatically in Reader when they are downloaded in Chrome browser"

That has solved my problem, still doesn't answer why Advanced Settings isn't there in Chrome anymore. Did they do away with it?

No "Developer options" under Advanced settings on Chrome for Android???
Yes, I see my device when I perform "chrome:inspect" on my desktop Chrome! I guess that the developer options setting no longer exists in Android Chrome and USB debugging Android Chrome must always be enabled, or at least enabled if USB debugging in the Android OS settings is enabled.
