📃 April 2025 release notes

New in Chrome

The following features are now available in Chrome:

  • abs() and sign(): The abs() and sign() CSS functions compute the absolute value or the sign of the input.
  • fetchLater: The fetchLater() method requests a deferred fetch sent at an unknown time. The browser chooses a reliable time to send the request, ideally when the document is unloaded, and ignores the response. This API is useful for sending beacons to a server without expecting a particular response.
  • Float16Array: Float16Array is a typed array of 16-bit floating point numbers.
  • Invoker commands: The command and commandfor attributes for the <button> HTML element dispatch an action to an element when the button is invoked (by click or keystroke), as a declarative alternative to addEventListener() calls or onclick attribute handlers.
  • Scroll markers: A scroll container can be navigated by activating ::scroll-marker pseudo-elements which appear in a generated ::scroll-marker-group pseudo-element, either before or after the scroll container.
