Chrome 128 Released With Isolated Web Apps, Standardized CSS Zoom

([Google] 4 Hours Ago Chrome 128)


Google has promoted Chrome 128 to its stable channel across macOS, Windows, and Linux platforms.

The Chrome 128 release brings a number of new features including Isolated Web Apps, which is an extensible of existing work on PWA installations and Web Packaging to provide stronger security/protections against tampering and web server compromise. For the moment this Isolated Web Apps support is limited to the admin policy on enterprise-managed ChromeOS devices.

Chrome 128 also brings standardized CSS zoom support after previously supporting the non-standard CSS zoom property. Chrome 128 also delivers on new Attribution Reporting API features, CSS ruby-align property functionality, line-breakable Ruby support, Promise.try handling, WebAuthn hints, and more. Behind a developer trial flag for Chrome 128 is WebGPU HDR extended range support.

More details on the Chrome 128 features via [1]ChromeStatus.com . The [2]Chrome Release Blog covers a number of security fixes shipping as part of Chrome 128, including seven high priority CVEs. A look at the new developer/API additions can also be found on the [3]Chrome Developer Blog .

A comment on schedules:
Ok, how long will it take?
For each manager involved in initial meetings add one month.
For each manager who says "data flow analysis" add another month.
For each unique end-user type add one month.
For each unknown software package to be employed add two months.
For each unknown hardware device add two months.
For each 100 miles between developer and installation add one month.
For each type of communication channel add one month.
If an IBM mainframe shop is involved and you are working on a non-IBM
system add 6 months.
If an IBM mainframe shop is involved and you are working on an IBM
system add 9 months.
Round up to the nearest half-year.

By the way, ALL software projects are done by iterative prototyping.
Some companies call their prototypes "releases", that's all.
