CSS "overflow" media features

Implements "overflow-inline" and "overflow-block" media features. Allows to distinguish styles for displays with different overflow characteristics. #

This feature was specified in this Spec.

CSS "update" media feature

Implements "update" media feature. Allows to distinguish styles for print, slow and fast output displays: print - for documents on the paper; slow - for e-ink and underpowered displays; fast - regular computer displays. #

This feature was specified in this Spec.

Fetch: Headers.getSetCookie()

Adds a way to get the values of multiple Set-Cookie headers without combining them. In HTTP, Set-Cookie is a special header for historical reasons because it can appear multiple times in a response but cannot be combined, unlike other headers. Headers objects don't currently support having multiple values of the Set-Cookie header, and this feature adds that capability. #

This feature was specified in this Spec.

WebGPU

WebGPU is the successor to the WebGL and WebGL 2 graphics APIs for the Web. It provides modern features such as “GPU compute” as well as lower overhead access to GPU hardware and better, more predictable performance. WebGPU is developed by the “GPU for the Web” W3C community group. #

This feature was specified in this Spec.

image-set

image-set() is a CSS type for specifying a range of image options, such as different images for different screen densities, and letting the browser select the best one. It can be used with CSS properties such as background-image. This feature adds the unprefixed "image-set" type so authors no longer need to use "-webkit-image-set". The implementation has also been brought up to the current spec with new resolution units (dppx, dpi, dpcm), image type support (e.g., type("image/avif")), raw urls without "url()", and gradient image options. #

This feature was specified in this Spec.

Remove support for Web Push Notifications using FCM Sender IDs

* Chrome shipped support for Web Push Notifications using FCM Sender IDs M42 (March 2015), after which we added support for a standardized authentication path in M52 (July 2016). * We have been deprecating support for FCM Sender IDs since, adding console warnings and blocking the list of senders in 2019, and blocking all new subscription requests using sender IDs in 2020. Today we see <1000 unique senders still relying on Chrome to receive such messages in a 7-day window -- this is a tiny portion of full Web Push usage. * Following this prolonged deprecation path, we're now proceeding to remove support for Chrome to receive messages for subscriptions that were once created using FCM Sender IDs. Users who receive such messages will stop receiving them until they re-visit the sender's website, at which time it has the chance to renew the subscription. We unfortunately cannot automatically update such subscriptions. The roll-out will be done server-side. #

This feature was specified in this Spec.

WebGPU on Android

WebGPU is the successor to the WebGL and WebGL 2 graphics APIs for the Web. It provides modern features such as “GPU compute” as well as lower overhead access to GPU hardware and better, more predictable performance. WebGPU is developed by the “GPU for the Web” W3C community group. WebGPU previously launched on Windows, MacOS, and ChromeOS in M113. See https://chromestatus.com/feature/6213121689518080 for details. #

Deprecations and Removals

Deprecation policy

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.

Deprecated features in 113

This release of Chrome had 1 features deprecated.

Secure Payment Confirmation: Rename rp --> rpId in CollectedClientAdditionalPaymentData

Secure Payment Confirmation (SPC) is a Web API to support streamlined authentication during a payment transaction. It builds on top of WebAuthn to bring strong authentication to payment flows. In the initial spec and implementation of SPC, the output CollectedClientAdditionalPaymentData dictionary[0] of the cryptogram contained a parameter named 'rp'. This was renamed in the specification[1] to 'rpId' to align with WebAuthn, and Chrome is changing its implementation to match (that is, adding 'rpId' and removing 'rp').
