When i wrote Article In which I explained my impressions having tried to work more with Firefox, one of the things that I mentioned was the issue of certain compatibility. There are fewer extensions, and the Google browser, and by extension all those based on Chromium, better support sections such as CSS. Yesterday, May 2, Alphabet's largest company announced the launch of Chrome 113, and it seems that they are giving a lot of importance to implementing everything new that is coming out so that the content looks better.
These types of improvements seem minor, but they really aren't that much. With this, Google is one step ahead of any storm, and if a web designer decides to include something relatively new in his style page, his browser will be able to interpret it and display it exactly as its creator intended. Without supporting some properties, the experience can be degraded, and if not, iPhone/iPad users will be told when they try to view a page with the property background-attachment: fixed
; they simply do not respect it, and distort the images.
Some new features of Chrome 113
At CSS terrain, Chrome 113 now supports image-set(), multimedia functions overflow-inline y overflow block (links to MDN info included), and a linear() function has been added to allow linear interpolation between a number of points.
There have also been other improvements in the multimedia section, such as faster AV1 video encoding, which improves the user experience in video calls, among other things, and enabled by default WebGPU. It is the successor to WebGL and offers high performance when displaying 3D graphics. As always, Google has taken the opportunity to correct bugs and add security patches.
Chrome 113 It is now available since official website. Users of operating systems like Ubuntu, which adds the default repository after the first installation, should already have the new version as an update. Arch-based distributions have it available in the AUR under the name google-chrome.
Hello,
It's been a while since I switched to Brave (under Linux Mint at home and Windows 10 at work).
Safer and faster than Chrome.
I have long since given up FireFox.
