Instead of tracking cookies, the following APIs are proposed: <\/p>\n
- \n
- FedCM (Federated Credential Management) allows for the creation of unified identification services that ensure privacy and work without third-party cookies. <\/li>\n
- Private State Tokens allow for differentiating between users without using cross-site identifiers and sharing user authentication information across different contexts. <\/li>\n
- Topics (critique) enables determining user interest categories that can be used to highlight groups of users with similar interests without identifying individual users using tracking cookies. Interests are computed based on the user's activity in the browser and stored on the user's device. Using the Topics API, an ad network can obtain general information about individual interests without having information about specific user activity. <\/li>\n
- Protected Audience, a solution for retargeting tasks and assessing one's own audience (working with users who have previously visited the site). <\/li>\n
- Attribution Reporting, allows for evaluating advertising effectiveness metrics such as clicks and conversion (a purchase on the site after clicking). <\/li>\n
- Storage Access API, can be used to request user permissions to access the Cookie storage if third-party Cookies are blocked by default. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- In accordance with the requirements of the recently adopted DMA (Digital Markets Act) in the European Union, some users will be shown a dialog to select the default search engine, the capabilities of which correspond to the settings at chrome:\/\/settings\/search. In Chrome 120, the dialog will be shown to 1% of users, and by the time Chrome 122 is released, it will be shown to 100%.\n
- The process of phasing out support for the Theora video codec has begun. Initially, Theora is disabled for 1% of users, but it is planned to be turned off for all users by January 16. During the transition phase, there is an option to revert the codec via the setting «chrome:\/\/flags\/#theora-video-codec». Concerns about vulnerabilities in Theora's implementation, which has complex logic for parsing binary data and decoding streams, similar to recent critical issues with the VP8 encoder, are cited as reasons for its discontinuation.\n
- The design of the Chrome Web Store catalog has been revamped to simplify the search and management of extensions. New categories of extensions have been added (for example, a category for machine learning-based extensions and the «editor's choice» section). The menu » ⋮ » now includes an option to revert to the previous design.

<\/center>\n- The functionality of the «Safety check» interface has been expanded to provide a summary of potential security issues, such as the use of compromised passwords, the status of malware site checks (Safe Browsing), the presence of uninstalled updates, and the detection of malicious extensions. The new version offers a proactive mode that periodically performs browser security checks and informs the user if problems are detected. Options for managing actions in proactive mode have been added to the settings.

<\/center>\n- An adaptive toolbar has been implemented that changes based on the window size.\n
- In the password manager, sharing individual passwords is now allowed for members of the Google Family Group set up through Google Account. Only one password can be shared at a time, after which the shared password cannot be updated or revoked by the sender.\n
- Printer interactions have been moved to a separate service process, which has improved the browser's stability and enhanced the responsiveness of the print preview interface.\n
- TLS now includes the implementation of a Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM), using the hybrid algorithm X25519Kyber768, which is resistant to brute force attacks on quantum computers. For creating session keys used for encrypting data within TLS connections, a combination of the X25519 key exchange mechanism based on elliptic curves currently used in TLS, and the Kyber-768 algorithm, which employs lattice-based cryptography methods that have similar solution times on both classical and quantum computers, can now be utilized.\n
- The Permission Suggestions Service now takes into account the URL of the page requesting permissions. servers<\/a> Hashes of the requesting permission URLs will be sent to Google.\n
- Support for the Android 7.0 «Nougat» platform has been discontinued in the Android version.\n
- A framework has been added that implements the concept of Close requests, allowing users to request the closure of modal and pop-up dialogs by pressing the Esc key or using a screen gesture or the «Back» button on smartphones. Support for Close requests has been added for dialogs created using the <dialog> element or the «popover» property. A CloseWatcher API has also been added, enabling application developers to monitor Close requests and respond to them (for example, creating a handler for the «back» button press on Android smartphones).\n
- The
element now supports the 'name' attribute, allowing for the creation of groups by defining a series ofelements with the same name.\n- The Media Session API has added the 'enterpictureinpicture' event, which allows a website to register a handler that is invoked when content is opened in picture-in-picture mode.\n
- The syntax for nested CSS blocks has been simplified\u2014nested CSS rules can now begin with any element, without needing to precede the nested rule with an ampersand or use the is() function. dl { dt { \/* style for dl dt *\/ } dd { \/* style for dl dd *\/ } }\n
- The CSS property 'background-clip' now supports the 'text' value, which displays the chosen background only within the area bounded by the text characters. For instance, specifying 'background: linear-gradient(60deg, red, yellow, red, yellow, red); background-clip: text; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2)' will result in the following display:
![\"Chrome](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/8b4ce00dcec9fc5d9a0a17787bb71bfe.png\")
<\/center>\n- A media query 'scripting' has been added in CSS, which can be used to determine the ability to execute scripts, such as those written in JavaScript, on the current page.\n
- A pseudo-class ':dir()' has been added in CSS, allowing selection of elements based on text direction (for example, ':dir(ltr)' will cover elements where the text is rendered left to right).\n
- Exponential functions pow(), sqrt(), hypot(), log(), and exp() have been added to CSS.\n
- Support has been added in CSS for the properties mask, mask-image, mask-repeat, mask-position, mask-clip, mask-origin, mask-size, mask-composite, and mask-mode to hide an element by overlaying an image at specified points.\n
- The FontFaceSet API has added the check() method, which allows checking whether text can be displayed with the selected fonts without using fonts in FontFaceSet that have not yet finished loading.\n
- The WebGPU API has added support for using a 16-bit floating-point type f16 in shaders.\n
- In the Media Capabilities API, the decodingInfo() method has been enhanced with hdrMetadataType, colorGamut, and transferFunction fields to determine HDR support.\n
- The MediaStreamTrack API has added the ability to obtain information about counters for received and dropped video frames.\n
- It is now possible to pass an ArrayBuffer object to the constructors VideoFrame, AudioData, EncodedVideoChunk, EncodedAudioChunk, and ImageDecoder for direct use of the byte array without creating a copy.\n
- In accordance with the updated specification to enhance protection against XSS attacks and improve portability across browsers, support for the 'data:' URL in SVGUseElement has been removed, which was previously unsupported in the WebKit engine.\n
- Experimental (origin trial) support for the HTTP header 'Priority' has been added, through which information about the request processing priority (RFC 9218) can be conveyed during the initial request to the resource.\n
- Improvements have been made to the tools for web developers. The default debugger now ignores scripts located in the directories \u2018\/node_modules\/\u2019 and \u2018\/bower_components\/\u2019 that contain Node.js modules. A switch has been implemented in remote debugging mode to choose between mouse and touch screen. Animation debugging has been enhanced. The Elements panel now includes a \u2018media\u2019 switch for debugging
