Document Picture-in-Picture API.

The Document Picture-in-Picture API makes it possible to open an always-on-top window that can be populated with arbitrary HTML content.

The Picture-in-Picture window in the Document Picture-in-Picture API is similar to a blank same-origin window opened using window.open(), with some differences:

• The Picture-in-Picture window floats on top of other windows.
• The Picture-in-Picture window never outlives the opening window.
• The Picture-in-Picture window cannot be navigated.
• The Picture-in-Picture window position cannot be set by the website.

The following HTML sets up a custom video player and a button element to open the video player in a Picture-in-Picture window.

The following JavaScript calls documentPictureInPicture.requestWindow() when the user clicks the button to open a blank Picture-in-Picture window. The returned promise resolves with a Picture-in-Picture window JavaScript object. The video player is moved to that window using append().

DevTools missing stylesheets debugging improvements.

DevTools got a number of improvements to identify and debug issues with missing stylesheets.

First: the Sources > Page tree now shows only the successfully deployed and loaded stylesheets to minimize confusion.

Also the Sources > Editor now underlines and shows inline error tooltips next to failed, @import,url(), and href statements.

• The Console, in addition to links to failed requests, now provides links to the exact line that references a stylesheet that failed to load.

The Network panel consistently populates the Initiator column with links to the exact line that references a stylesheet that failed to load.

The Issues panel lists all stylesheets loading issues, including broken URLs, failed requests, and misplaced @import statements.

And more!

Of course there’s plenty more.

• Motion path allows authors to position any graphical object and animate it along a path specified by the developer.
• The display and content-visibility properties are now supported in keyframe animations, which allows exit animations to be added purely in CSS.
• The fetch API can now be used with Bring Your Own Buffer readers, reducing garbage collection overhead and copies, and improving responsiveness for users.

Installation notes

After downloading the package, confirm that the branch and platform match your device before launching the installer or extracting the archive. If you only need a standard everyday browser, Stable is usually the safest choice. If you are testing new behavior, Beta, Dev, and Canary are better fits.
