Google released another update to its browser yesterday that seems to be not of great importance, but it does have it, or will have it in the medium-term future. And it is that the W3C it introduces improvements to the web standards, and then it is the browser developers who have to make everything work in their software. Chrome 105, what's going on to last August 2, arrived yesterday, Tuesday the 30th, and introduced some changes to improve in this regard.
There are some web elements that are known as “modal”. Explained quickly and without much precision, they are a kind of floating window, like what we see when clicking on a photo gallery. There is a CSS subclass that is :modal (link to mdn), and Chrome 105 has introduced support for this subclass. This means that if we enter a website that includes something in its CSS sheet with the :modal subclass, we will be able to see it as its designer has created it.
Some new features of Chrome 105
- Addition of a global content attribute "onbeforeinput" to facilitate the use of the "beforeinput" event on input/textarea/editable content elements before they are to be modified.
- WebSQL has been deprecated and removed from unsafe contexts.
- Support for Container Queries as a way to style elements according to the size of a containing element.
- Support for Media Source Extensions (MSE) within DedicatedWorker contexts.
- A basic HTML sanitization API that can be used to remove scriptable content from arbitrary user-supplied HTML content. It is intended that this can be used to build XSS-free web applications.
- Support for the CSS pseudo-class ":modal" which is used for a state that excludes all interaction with elements outside of it until it has been dismissed.
- Support for iframes (link to mdn) anonymous.
- Option "blocking=render" as an attribute for binding elements of scripts, styles and style sheets to make them explicitly render-blocking.
Chrome 105 has been available for about 24 hours, so it can now be downloaded from your official website. Linux users can download it from the same website if we use a distro that supports DEB or RPM packages. Arch Linux and derivatives have it in AUR.
