The Chrome browser differs from Chromium in its use of the Google logos
Google recently unveiled the launch of the new version of your Google web browser Chromium 111, in which various internal changes and improvements have been made. In addition to innovations and bug fixes, 40 vulnerabilities have been fixed in the new version.
As part of the Vulnerability Discovery Cash Reward Payment Program for the Current Version, Google paid out 24 prizes in the amount of US$92 (one prize of $15 and $000, two prizes of $4000 and $10, three prizes of $000, $700 and $5,000, five prizes of $2,000).
Main novelties of Chrome 111
In this newly released version of Chrome 111, updated interface elements related to the Privacy Sandbox initiative to allow user interest categories to be defined and used instead of tracking cookies to highlight groups of users with similar interests without identifying individual users. The new version adds a new dialog that informs users about features from the Privacy Sandbox and redirects to the settings page, where you can configure the information sent to ad networks.
Another of the changes that stands out in the new version of Chrome 111 is that on Linux and Android, name resolution operations in DNS are moved of an isolated network process to a non-isolated browser process, since when working with a resolver, it is impossible to implement some sandbox restrictions that apply to other network services.
In addition to that, we can also find that added a picture-in-picture API experimental document (proof of origin) to open HTML content arbitrary in picture-in-picture mode, not just video. Unlike opening a window via a call to window.open(), windows created via the new API are always displayed on top of other windows, they do not remain after the original window is closed, do not support navigation, and cannot explicitly determine position.
Using the payment controller API, that simplifies integration with existing payment systems, now requires an explicit definition of the source of the downloaded data by specifying the domains to which requests are sent in the CSP parameter connect-src (Content-Security-Policy).
Added support for users to automatically sign in to Microsoft identity services (Azure AD SSO) using Microsoft Windows account information, and the Chrome update mechanism on Windows and macOS handles updates to the last 12 browser versions.
Of the other changes that stand out:
- A new dialog has been proposed with information on how to enable the ability to sync settings, history, bookmarks, autocomplete databases, and other data between browsers.
- Provided the ability to increase or decrease the size of the ArrayBuffer, as well as increase the size of the SharedArrayBuffer.
- WebRTC implements support for Scalable Video Coding (SVC) extensions to adapt a video stream to the client's bandwidth and to transmit multiple video streams of different quality in a single stream.
- The "previous slide" and "next slide" actions have been added to the Media Session API to organize navigation between the previous and next slides.
- Added a new syntax for the pseudo-classes ":nth-child(an + b)" and ":nth-last-child()" to allow getting a selector to pre-filter the children before making the parent selection "An+ B«.
Improvements have been made to the web developer tools. - Support for the CSS Color Level 4 specification and its new color spaces and palettes has been added to the Styles panel.
- Support for new color spaces and the ability to convert between different color formats has been added to the tool for determining the color of arbitrary pixels (“eyedroppers”).
- The JavaScript debugger has a redesigned breakpoint control panel.
