Following the release of Chrome 105 this week, Google has rolled out Chrome 106 to the Beta channel. The Chrome 106 beta brings a number of incremental improvements over Chrome 105, including changes such as
As a point-of-origin experiment, a pop-up API was introduced for building transient user interface elements that display on top of other web application interface elements.
- This popup API is intended for action menus, form element suggestions, content selectors, and other similar uses where it is desired to force content to be displayed on top of all other elements.
- Anonymous iframe support for loading documents in third-party iframes using new and ephemeral contexts.
- Support for new functions, rounding modes and other changes to the JavaScript Intl.
- Support for SerialPort “Bring Your Own Buffer” (BYOB) readers.
- Dequeue events for WebCodecs with audio/video encoding/decoding interfaces.
