ES6 Template Literals
New features in Chrome Developer Tools
Other updates in this release
- ES6 Lexical Declarations cause variables declared with the 'let' keyword to be scoped to their containing block instead of being hoisted to the top of their containing function, giving developers more control over Javascript's tricky scoping rules.
- The new CSS value image-rendering: pixelated allows scaled images to appear to be composed of very large pixels, trading smooth results for faster image scaling.
- CSS Media Queries now support any-pointer and any-hover, which function similarly to pointer and hover but can be triggered by any input device, not only the primary one.
- The Web Audio API now allows developers to temporarily suspend an AudioContext when it’s not in use, improving power consumption. StereoPannerNode is also now supported, enabling left-right panning of an incoming audio stream while maintaining equal power.
- HTTPS sites that have certificate chains using SHA-1 that are valid past January 1st, 2017 will be treated as “affirmatively insecure” in Chrome UI from this release onwards as part of our plan to gradually sunset SHA-1.
- Update February 13th: The new CSS values mix-blend-mode and isolation provide control over how an HTML or SVG element blends with the content behind it.

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.

Frequently asked questions
These FAQ blocks help the page read like a complete release article instead of a download stub, which is better for trust and better for SEO.
Should I use this release or stay on Stable?
If you just want the safest everyday browsing experience, Stable is usually the right default. Preview branches are better for testing, compatibility checks, and early feature access.
Why show exact version numbers so prominently?
Because exact-version queries are common in English search behavior, especially for QA teams, enterprise users, and people trying to reproduce a bug or environment.
Why keep a full article around the download buttons?
A stronger page body gives users context and gives Google clearer signals about what the release page actually covers.
Where should older releases live?
Older versions belong in the category archive page, with this article template handling exact-version landing pages one release at a time.
