Chrome 149 promotes WebAuthn immediate mediation to stable as Immediate UI mode, letting you surface a passkey or password picker the instant a user taps Sign In — and fail silently when there's nothing to offer. Here's how to wire it up with working code.
Chrome 151 opens an origin trial that adds NIST's post-quantum algorithms — ML-KEM, ML-DSA, the X-Wing hybrid, and ChaCha20-Poly1305 — directly to the Web Crypto API. Here's what changes for application-layer crypto, with working code.
Safari 27 beta adds support for customizable <select> — appearance: base-select, ::picker(select), <selectedcontent> and friends. With Chrome and Edge already shipping it, fully styleable native dropdowns are one engine away from Baseline.
Next.js 16.3 turns Turbopack's attention to compiler performance: memory eviction cuts dev server RAM by up to 90%, the filesystem cache now speeds up next build, and an experimental Rust port of the React Compiler drops the Babel bottleneck.
Chrome 150 makes scrollTo(), scrollBy(), scroll(), and scrollIntoView() return a Promise that resolves when a smooth scroll finishes — and tells you whether it was interrupted. Here's how to replace the scrollend guesswork with await.
Chrome's Proofreader API is in origin trial from Chrome 141 to 145. It runs Gemini Nano on-device to correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation without a single network request — here is how it works and where it earns its place.
