This release of Chrome had 9 new features.
In CSS Grid, the grid-template-columns and grid-template-rows properties allow developers to define line names and track sizing of grid columns and rows, respectively. Supporting interpolation for these properties will allow grid layouts to smoothly transition between states, instead of snapping at the halfway point of an animation or transition. Web developers can use this functionality to achieve specific interactive effects. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
Hint allowing Web applications to instruct the browser whether, upon calling getDisplayMedia(), the current tab should be excluded from the list of tabs offered to the user. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
Adds an option to programmatically control whether Chrome shows a button for switching tabs while screen-shared. This option will be passed to navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia(). #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
Enables support for decoding HEVC video on platforms where hardware (e.g., GPU, media accelerator, etc) for decoding HEVC is available (Android 5.0+, macOS 11+, with supported hardware on Windows 8+ and ChromeOS). #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
When getDisplayMedia() is called, the browser offers the user a choice of display surfaces: tabs, windows, or monitors. Using the displaySurface constraint, the Web application may now hint to the browser if it prefers that a certain surface type be more prominently offered to the user. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
Adds a field to PerfomanceResourceTiming to indicate the render blocking status of a resource. Currently from a developer perspective, the only way to determine which resources were actually render blocking is to rely on complex heurestics. The new field would instead provide a direct signal regarding the same. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.

Many client-side JavaScript frameworks currently use case insensitive URL matching. URLPattern, however, follows URL semantics and treats many parts of the URL as case sensitive. This feature adds an `ignoreCase` option to the URLPattern that switches all matching operations to case insensitive for that given pattern. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
Allows applications authored against the WebXR Device API to access pose-synchronized camera image textures from within WebXR sessions. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.

This feature adds the "rel" attribute to form elements, which makes it possible to prevent window.opener from being present on websites navigated to by form elements which have rel=noopener and prevents the referer header from being sent with rel=noreferrer. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.

Run all timers (with a few exceptions) with a non-zero delay on a regular 8ms aligned wake up (125 Hz), instead of as soon as their delay has passed. This affect DOM timers; On foreground pages, run DOM timers with a non-zero delay on a regular 8ms aligned wake up, instead of as soon as their delay has passed. On background pages, DOM timers already run on a regular 1s aligned wake up (1 Hz), or even less frequently after 5 minutes. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.

No linked samplesAs previously detailed in https://blog.chromium.org/2021/09/user-agent-reduction-origin-trial-and-dates.html, we intend to proceed with Phase 5 of the User-Agent Reduction plan. The <platform> and <oscpu> tokens (i.e., parts of the User-Agent string) are reduced to the relevant <unifiedPlatform> token values, and will no longer be updated. Additionally, the values for navigator.platform are frozen on desktop platforms (see https://www.chromium.org/updates/ua-reduction/#reduced-navigatorplatform-values-for-all-versions). This is phase 5 of the User-Agent reduction plan as described in https://blog.chromium.org/2021/09/user-agent-reduction-origin-trial-and-dates.html. For use cases requiring high-entropy OS version, CPU architecture, bitness or Wow64-ness, developers are encouraged to request that via the User Agent Client Hints API, in particular the Sec-CH-UA-Platform, Sec-CH-UA-Platform-Version, Sec-CH-UA-WoW64, Sec-CH-UA-Arch, and Sec-CH-UA-Bitness client hints. #

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 1 features deprecated.
Expect-CT is an HTTP header that allowed websites to opt in to Certificate Transparency enforcement before it was enforced by default. It also has reporting functionality to help developers discover CT misconfigurations. #
