Ever since I installed 18.04 and reinstalled google chrome, chrome ignores flags when launched with google-chrome. It used to work and I had Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome --force-device-scale-factor=2 %U in my .desktop file. However using google-chrome --force-device-scale-factor=2 from terminal does work.

I don't want to change my system-wide font like in Chrome ignores --force-display-scale-factor flag? Suggestions are appreciated.

It seems that you need double quotes to make this flag work, i.e. Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome "--force-device-scale-factor=2" %U.

Also, logout and login again and check whether chrome is properly scaled. In my case, this approach works perfectly fine on Ubuntu 18.04.
