This release of Chrome had 12 new features.
Add a new compression format, "deflate-raw", to give web developers access to the raw deflate stream without any headers or footers. This is needed, for example, to read and write zip files. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
Support 103 Early Hints informational responses during top-level frame navigation. When a 103 response includes link headers Chromium tries to preload specified resources (including modulepreload) or preconnect to specified origins before the final response is received. This gives Web developers a way to optimize Core Web Vitals such as Largest Contentful Paint (LCP). #
This feature was specified in this Spec.

This feature provides a JavaScript API to allow web developers to query and modify the "role" ARIA attribute directly. This implements attribute reflection for "role" attribute, similar to other attributes already supported like "ariaDescription" or "ariaRequired". #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
Returns a new AbortSignal object that is automatically aborted after a given number of milliseconds. This method can be used by developers to easily implement timeouts for signal-accepting async APIs, e.g. fetch(). #
This feature was specified in this Spec.

The .avif image file should be able to be shared by Web Share. Adding avif to the other allowed image file types will help spread the use of it. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
Before this change, Chromium would fire hashchange asynchronously (after a task), and delay popstate until the load event. This means the event ordering could be either [hashchange, popstate], or [popstate, hashchange], depending on how long the document took to load. After this change, Chromium will match Firefox and always fire popstate immediately upon URL changes, i.e. the order will always be [popstate, hashchange]. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
Block sandboxed iframe from opening external application. To enable it again, apply at least one of following values to the <iframe> element's sandbox property: - allow-popups - allow-top-navigation - allow-top-navigation-with-user-activation Or use the new dedicated one: - allow-top-navigation-to-custom-protocols #

No linked samplesWe seek to align our implementation of GREASE in User Agent Client Hints with the current spec, which includes additional GREASE characters beyond the current semicolon and space, and which recommends varying the arbitrary version. This is to help prevent bad assumptions from being built on top of User-Agent strings. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
This intent is to add a user activation requirement for Secure Payment Confirmation (SPC) credential enrollment in a cross-origin iframe to help mitigate a privacy issue (see https://github.com/w3c/secure-payme for discussion of a potential identity tracking attack). #

To keep the platform healthy, we sometimes remove APIs from the Web Platform which have run their course. There can be many reasons why we would remove an API, such as:
Some of these changes will have an effect on a very small number of sites. To mitigate issues ahead of time, we try to give developers advanced notice so they can make the required changes to keep their sites running.
Chrome currently has a process for deprecations and removals of API's, essentially:
You can find a list of all deprecated features on chromestatus.com using the deprecated filter and removed features by applying the removed filter. We will also try to summarize some of the changes, reasoning, and migration paths in these posts.
This release of Chrome had 0 features deprecated.

Deprecate and remove the Battery Status API on insecure origins, such as HTTP pages or HTTPS iframes embedded in HTTP pages. #
