Chrome 102 arrives with new file management and screenshots, among other new features

Chrome 102

Six weeks after v101, which in turn came a month and a half after the 100th version that introduced a new logo, among other things, Google He launched yesterday Chrome 102. As it has been for a long time, and it seems that innovation in browsers has stalled and what remains is to improve what already exists, this update introduces some new features, but none of them really stand out so that it makes us feel that an update is urgent.

Although, well, to be true to the truth, improving what already exists may be reason enough to want to update, and even more so if those improvements come in the form of security patches. In Chrome 102 some vulnerabilities have been covered that come directly from Chromium, so other browsers will also fix them when they update their engine to the version that Chrome 102 already uses. Of the rest of the changes, the list below stands out.

Chrome 102 highlights

  • New capture mechanism that allows an application to choose to expose certain information to other applications that are capturing it via video.
  • File Handling Interface as a system for web applications to declare support for handling files with different MIME type extensions.
  • New AudioContext.outputLatency property that calculates the audio output latency time.
  • HTTP to HTTPS redirection in DNS marks.
  • New window navigation API.
  • The Secure Payment Confirmation API is now in its third version.
