Google has released version 129 of the Chrome web browser. At the same time, a stable release of the open-source Chromium project, which forms the foundation of Chrome, is available. The Chrome browser differs from Chromium in that it uses Google branding, includes a crash reporting notification system, supports modules for playing protected video content (DRM), has an automatic update installation system, consistently activates Sandbox isolation, provides keys to Google API, and transmits RLZ parameters during searches. For those who need more time to update, an Extended Stable branch is separately maintained, lasting 8 weeks. The next release, Chrome 130, is scheduled for October 15. <\/p>\n
Key changes in Chrome 129: <\/p>\n
\n
A new option has been added to customize the toolbar content, allowing users to pin, unpin, and rearrange icons using a configurator displayed in the sidebar. For instance, you can place buttons on the toolbar to invoke the developer interface, clear the browsing data, open reading mode, access the task manager, go to the password manager, and more. To control the ability to pin icons, the setting \"chrome:\/\/flags\/#toolbar-pinning\" has been added.
<\/center>\n
A tab comparison feature has been proposed, which leverages machine learning to generate comparative reviews of products whose pages are open in different tabs. This feature is currently available only to users in the United States.
<\/center>\n
In the Android version, inactive tabs can now be moved to a separate section (Inactive Tabs) in the tab-switching interface. Users can view all old tabs and close them simultaneously. By default, this new feature is enabled for 1% of users. Tabs will be automatically removed after remaining in the Inactive Tabs section for more than 60 days.\n
An experimental process sharing mode has been introduced, which means that for different tabs open on the same site, one common rendering process will be used instead of separate processes. This change allows for faster page loading and reduces memory consumption. To enable this mode, the setting \"chrome:\/\/flags\/#enable-process-per-site-up-to-main-frame-threshold\" has been added.\n
A feature has been added that allows websites to request temporary permissions, valid only within the current session frames (for example, access to the camera and microphone, which will remain until the tab is closed or navigated away from the site).\n
Support for macOS 10.15 has been discontinued, as Apple ceased support for this platform in 2022.\n
A new certificate management interface has been implemented in the configurator for Windows and macOS platforms (previously, system interfaces for certificate management were invoked on these platforms).\n
Access to IP 0.0.0.0 has been blocked to prevent attacks on local services.\n
The upcoming replacement of the TLS key exchange algorithm Kyber768+X25519 has been announced, with ML-KEM768+X25519 (the recently adopted ML-KEM standard is based on the post-quantum Kyber algorithm, but is not fully compatible with its previous implementation).\n
The Scheduler API has added the method \"scheduler.yield()\", which allows control to be returned to the main browser thread temporarily during long-running tasks. This enables the suspension of the current long task to perform important operations, such as input handling and frame rendering. The idea is to break long-running tasks into smaller chunks, periodically yielding control back to the main thread using the call \"await scheduler.yield();\" in the code, thereby reducing the negative impact of lengthy tasks on website responsiveness.

The CSS property \"interpolate-size\" has been added, allowing the selection of animation size based not on absolute values but relative to values computed using auto, min-content, or fit-content properties. For more precise size control, a CSS function calc-size() has been proposed, similar to calc(), but supporting operations with the actual size of elements, which changes depending on the content.\n
Changes have been made to the CSS properties for managing the display of elements linked to the locations of other elements (CSS Anchor Positioning) without using JavaScript, for instance, to attach tooltip-like popups (popover). In accordance with the recommendations of the CSS standardization working group, the CSS property 'inset-area' has been renamed to 'position-area', the property 'position-try-options' has been renamed to 'position-try-fallbacks', and the need to specify inset-area() in the 'position-try' property has been removed, meaning instead of 'position-try-fallbacks: inset-area(top)', it should be written as 'position-try-fallbacks: top'.\n
The Intl API has added the method Intl.DurationFormat for formatting duration data with consideration to the selected locale. For example: const l = 'ru-RU'; const d = {hours: 1, minutes: 46, seconds: 40}; const opts = {style: 'long'}; new Intl.DurationFormat(l, opts).format(d); \/\/ '1 hour, 46 minutes 40 seconds'\n
The Web GPU API has been implemented to use the entire range of brightness supported by the display when rendering HDR images.\n
The WebRTC API has added support for sending blobs using the method RTCDataChannel.send(Blob) and receiving data of type Blob when handling the onMessage event, provided the 'binaryType' attribute is set to 'blob' (previously, only string and ArrayBuffer transmission was supported). The size of the blob is limited by the maxMessageSize value.\n
The WebAuthn API has added the methods PublicKeyCredential.toJSON(), parseCreationOptionsFromJSON(), and parseRequestOptionsFromJSON() for serializing\/deserializing WebAuthn responses using the JSON format.\n
In 'Origin trials' mode, the FileSystemObserver API has been implemented, allowing websites to track changes to files and directories.\n
In 'Origin trials' mode, the Mesh2D Canvas API has been added for visualizing a large number of textured triangles. Applications of the API include implementing advanced texture mapping methods and creating deformation effects in a two-dimensional context.\n
The capabilities of the tools for web developers have been expanded. <\/ul>\n
In addition to new features and bug fixes, the new version addresses 9 vulnerabilities. Many of these vulnerabilities were identified through automated testing tools such as AddressSanitizer, MemorySanitizer, Control Flow Integrity, LibFuzzer, and AFL. One issue has been assigned a high severity level (improper type handling in the V8 engine). No critical issues allowing circumvention of all browser security levels and execution of code outside the sandbox environment were found. As part of the vulnerability reward program for this release, Google has awarded 5 prizes totaling $13,000 (one prize of $8,000, one of $2,000, and three prizes of $1,000). The amount of one reward has not yet been determined. \n Source: opennet.ru<\/a> <\/p>","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
