hwb() color notation

Described in an article by Stefan Judis as a "color notation for humans", hwb() specifies color according to hue, whiteness, and blackness. As with other color notations, an optional alpha component specifies opacity.

This method of specifying color is now well-supported, with Firefox supporting it from version 96, and Safari from version 15.

Fetch Priority

Fetch Priority gives you a way to hint to the browser which order resources should be downloaded in, by using the fetchpriority attribute. This accepts values of "high", "low", and "auto".

• "high": You consider the resource a high priority and want the browser to prioritize it as long as the browser's heuristics don't prevent that from happening.
• "low": You consider the resource a low priority and want the browser to deprioritize it if its heuristics permit.
• "auto": This is the default value that lets the browser decide the appropriate priority.

In the example below, a low priority image is indicated with fetchpriority="low".

Also in this release

There is a new method of forget() for USBDevice objects. This enables the forgetting of a device that previously had permission granted. For example, if this is an application used on a shared computer with many devices.

Also for Web USB, a fix to support [SameObject] for related attributes within USBDevice. The specification change can be found in a PR to the draft spec.

Dedicated workers loaded from a secure (HTTPS) origin, yet instantiated by insecure (non-HTTPS) contexts, are no longer considered secure. This means that inside such worker contexts: - self.isSecureContext is now false. - self.caches and self.storageFoundation are no longer available.

The popup argument for window.open() now evaluates to true, following a recent change to the spec for parsing this argument. Previously, when popup was set equal to true, window.open() was interpreted to mean false. This change makes boolean features easier to use and understand.

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.
