  • The Windows version uses the built-in DNS client by default, which is also used by the macOS, Android, and Chrome OS versions.
  • Stabilized and offered to all API Local Font Access , with which you can determine and use the fonts installed on the system, as well as manipulate fonts at a low level (for example, filter and transform glyphs).
  • The implementation of the popstate event has been aligned with the behavior of Firefox. The popstate event now fires immediately after a URL change without waiting for the load event to fire.
  • For pages opened without HTTPS and from iframe blocks, access to the Gamepad API and Battery Status API is prohibited.

Finally latest Chrome release is currently rolling out to Windows, Mac, and Linux users as version 103.0.5060.53.
