Chrome 88 Released With Security Fixes, Adobe Flash Removed

([Google] 3 Hours Ago Chrome 88)


Google has released Chrome 88 as the latest stable version of their cross-platform web browser.

Some of the key highlights of Chrome 88 include:

- 36 security fixes, including for a critical issue over insufficient policy enforcement in Cryptohome. There are also many security issues resolved that were considered high priority.

- Adobe Flash Player support has been completely cleared out now that Adobe Flash is end-of-life upstream.

- The target="_blank" behavior now implies rel="noopener" by default for security purposes.

- CSS aspect-ratio property support as well as support for "hyphens: auto" mode.

- Various WebXR improvements like lighting estimation and dynamic viewport scaling.

- Support for FTP has been completely removed from Google Chrome following its earlier deprecation.

<Knghtbrd> gxam: the globals will have to go away as we migrate towards
modularity and madness (ie, libtool)
