I double checked in about:version to confirm this was not enabled by a flag, so this means it successfully synced from Canary instance and automatically showed up. So now the flag is not required anywhere anymore. My guess is Google will just activate the default apps in everyone's Google accounts (on 7th of December or whenever they decide to) and those will propagate to the browsers without any additional updates...

After the apps are displayed, you can safely switch back to the localized version.<br />It makes no difference if the command line argument is preceded by one or two dashes.
