Web platform features explorer

📃 January 2014 release notes

New in Chrome

The following features are now available in Chrome:

  • ANGLE_instanced_arrays WebGL extension: The ANGLE_instanced_arrays extension for WebGL 1.0 contexts draws the same object multiple times or groups of similar objects multiple times, if the group shares the same vertex data, primitive count and type.
  • 2D canvas opacity: The optional alpha parameter of a 2D canvas's getContext() method sets whether the canvas has an alpha transparency channel. If set to false, then this permits the browser to optimize compositing for an opaque canvas.
  • object-fit: The object-fit CSS property sets how images, videos, and other replaced elements are scaled within their container.
  • object-position: The object-position CSS property places images, videos, and other replaced elements within their boxes.
  • Promise (initial support): A promise represents an asynchronous operation which eventually succeeds or fails.
  • URL: A URL object represents a web address, like https://example.com/, and parts of the address, such as the domain, path, and query string (as URLSearchParams).
  • Vibration: The navigator.vibrate() method makes a tactile alert, if the device is equipped with a haptic motor.
