To avoid what is essentially user-mediated cross-origin information leakage, Blink will start to ignore the presence of the download attribute on anchor elements with cross origin attributes. #

No linked samplesUpdate parsing of HSL() and HSLA() to the syntax described in CSS Color 4. The functions were synonymized, along with allowing whitespace to separate the parameters instead of commas, introducing a backslash as a new way to separate the alpha parameter, allowing angles to be specified as the hue, and allowing percent values for the alpha parameter. #

This feature was specified in this Spec.
The original HTML/CSS specifications were unclear about the intended behavior for elements inside display:none iframes. [Do they get CSS boxes? Are they rendered?] This has led to a divergence in behavior between UAs. The specs are in the process of being clarified, and the new spec matches the behavior of Edge and Gecko [which do not perform box construction or layout]. Note that Chrome's current behavior has negative performance implications. https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/1813 #

Allows developers to selectively enable and disable use of Synchronous XMLHttpRequest requests through the feature policy HTTP header or the <iframe> "allow" attribute. The identifier for the feature in policies is "sync-xhr". By default, synchronous XHR is allowed in all frames. If developers wish to disable this on any page, they can include a header like: Feature-Policy: sync-xhr 'none' Or embed content in an frame with sync XHR disabled like: <iframe src="..." allow="sync-xhr 'none'"> #

No linked samplesThe takeRecords method returns a copy of the performance entries in the PerformanceObserver’s buffer, and also clears this buffer. This aligns PerformanceObserver with other *Observer implementations, like MutationObserver and IntersectionObservers, which have similar methods. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
This feature encapsulates the addition of the following methods to RTCPeerConnection: getSenders(), getReceivers(), addTrack(MediaStreamTrack track, MediaStream... streams), and removeTrack(RTCRtpSender sender). The RTCRtpSender and RTCRtpReceiver objects will initially be limited to supporting the "track" attribute, with RTCRtpSender also supporting "replaceTrack(MediaStreamTrack withTrack)". #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
This allows you to seamlessly change which track is being sent without having to renegotiate at the expense of another offer/answer cycle. For example, you might want to switch which video to send or to temporarily not send video, without any disruption in audio or at the cost of an RTT delay. It can also be used to control whether or not to send with replaceTrack(null). #

No linked samplesWorklets define a new javascript execution context which is designed to allow developers to write code which is intended to be run synchronously within the rendering engine, however independent of the main user javascript. This feature was released in two stages. Worklets for paint were released in Chrome 65/Opera 52. Worklets for audio were released for Chrome 66/Opera 53. #

Add assignedElements on <slot>, similar to assignedNodes(), but returning Element nodes only. The method returns elements that are assigned to a given slot. #

"display: contents" allows you to control the box generation of an element. The element with "display: contents" won't generate any box, but its children and pseudo-elements will still do it as normal. It's like the element has been replaced by its children and pseudo-elements. #

It has been possible for web developers to overwrite document.all for a long time, but according to the web standard, document.all will be no longer overwritable, i.e. it will be readonly.

Ever since serializer was deprecated in favor of toJSON [1], the Performance and PerformanceEntry specs added a mandatory toJSON method. This method should just call the default toJSON operation [2].

CSP allows developers to control the set of resources which can be preloaded by specifying a `prefetch-src` directive. The directive has the same format as other fetch directives; developers write an allowlist which defines the set of hosts from which resources can be preloaded. If `prefetch-src` is not specified, `default-src` will apply. #

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.
