Chrome 112 arrives with initial support for WASM and with improvements in CSS support

Chrome 112

just yesterday i wrote an article in which he confessed that he had tried to use Firefox by default and it had been impossible. In general, the reason was that I am very used to the extra "goodies" of Vivaldi, but also commented that the compatibility is better in Chromium. In the comments, someone also said that it was doing well, but it rarely runs into problems. In my article, I said that Chromium also handles the CSS theme better, and the release of Chrome 112 Occurred the same day to prove me right.

Among the novelties of Chrome 112 we can read several related to CSS. For example, it now allows you to create nested css rules in other style sheets, in which selectors from the outside are combined with the rules from the inside to improve the modularity and maintainability of the style sheets. Google says that it is something that they have adopted and that Firefox has also agreed, but Safari has not and web developers have yet to implement it. For the end user, all we need to know is that Chrome is ahead of these storms, and it should be the same for Chromium-based ones.

Chrome 112 also supports animation-composition

Continuing with the CSS, Chrome 112 also supports the property animation-composition, a rule that specifies the composition operation to use when there are multiple animation effects that affect the same property. Support for this is not yet in either Safari or Firefox, which are the other browsers that compete in the distance with Chromium.

On the other hand, Chrome 112 has introduced new features such as support for WebAssembly, also known as WASM. You've actually added support on an experimental basis, and some support garbage will be picked up to allow efficient support of high-level managed languages ​​with WebAssembly. As always, Google has taken the opportunity to add several security patches, available here.

Chrome 112 is available from yesterday April 4 for all supported systems from your official website. Linux users who are on a distribution that adds the official repository after the first install should already have received the new package. For users of Arch Linux and derivatives, it is available in AUR as google-chrome, and can also be downloaded from Flatub in the coming days.
