This release of Chrome had 15 new features.
The CSS transforms level 2 spec requires that any grouping property causes the used value of transform-style to be flat. Chromium applies grouping for some of the specified grouping properties, but not all. This change tracked here will add: * clip * clip-path * mask * backdrop-filter * isolation #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
To mitigate "tab-napping" attacks, in which a new tab/window opened by a victim context may navigate that opener context, the HTML standard changed to specify that anchors that target _blank should behave as if |rel="noopener"| is set. A page wishing to opt out of this behavior may set |rel="opener"|. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
Blink supports `manual` and `none` values of the CSS `hyphens` property since M55, but `auto`, which enables the automatic hyphenation, is supported only on Android and Mac. This feature enables `hyphens: auto` on Windows, Linux, and ChromeOS by downloading dictionary files used in Android Open Source Project. The previous feature entry for M55 is https://www.chromestatus.com/features/5642121184804864 #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
The matches-any pseudo-class, :is(), is a functional pseudo-class taking a selector list as its argument. It represents an element that is represented by its argument. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
Allows complex selectors inside the :not() pseudo class, such as :not(.a + .b .c). #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
Normally, only certain replaced elements have an aspect ratio, particularly images. For them, if only one of width and height is specified, the other can be computed from it using the intrinsic aspect ratio. This property allows explicitly specifying an aspect ratio for any other element to get similar behavior. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.

When adopting a shadow root into a <template> document from a document that the <template> is in (or vice versa), we will no longer clear its adoptedStyleSheets. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
A new attribute on ElementInternals, 'shadowRoot', allows custom elements to access their own ShadowRoot, regardless of open/closed status. Additionally, further restrictions are added to the attachInternals() API to ensure that custom elements get the first chance to attach the ElementInternals interface. With this change, the attachInternals() function will throw an exception if called prior to the custom element constructor being run. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
To improve security, the File System Access API's showOpenFilePicker() and showSaveFilePicker() methods will limit what characters are allowed in extensions for accepted file types. Specifically only A-Z, a-z, 0-9, + and . will be allowed, extensions can't end in .local or .lnk, and can't be more than 16 characters long. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
Implement https://github.com/w3c/screen-wake-lock/pull/291, which makes the "type" parameter in WakeLock.request() optional and defaulting to "screen", which is the only allowed value at the moment. In other words, the following two lines would do the exact same thing: navigator.wakeLock.request() navigator.wakeLock.request("screen") #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
Origin-keyed agent clusters allows developers to opt in to giving up certain cross-origin same-site access capabilities — namely synchronous scripting via document.domain, and postMessage()ing WebAssembly.Module instances. This gives the browser more flexibility in implementation technologies. In particular, in Chrome, we will use this as a hint to put the origin in its own process, subject to resource or platform limitations. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
Samples: https://origin-agent-cluster-demo.dev/
The Permissions-Policy HTTP header replaces the existing Feature-Policy header for controlling delegation of permissions and powerful features. The header uses a structured syntax, and allows sites to more tightly restrict which origins can be granted access to features. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.

No linked samplesAdds the JavaScript type SharedArrayBuffer to Android gated behind COOP/COEP. The concept of a SharedArrayBuffer is that a message to a worker, is posted but instead of copying the content of the array just a reference to it is shared, so that all have the same view on the shared chunk of data in the memory. This feature is only targeting Android - https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/4570991992766464 handles all other platforms #

No linked samplesSo far clip-path only supported other basic shapes (circle, ellipse, polygon, url). This adds support for path() as a value as specified in https://drafts.csswg.org/css-shapes-1/#funcdef-path, for example: clip-path: path(oddeven, 'M 5 5 h 100 v 100 Z') would clip the element with a triangle. #

Applications can optionally render to a subset of the WebXR viewport, using a scale factor that can be changed every animation frame. This is intended to be more efficient than resizing the full framebuffer which requires reallocation, and the UA can supply a recommended scale factor based on internal heuristics. #

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.
This release of Chrome had 1 features removed.
Remove support for Flash Player from Chromium in alignment with Adobe's planned end of life on January 12th, 2021. #
