Browser updates of the week: Chrome 157
Chrome 157 brings ProgressEvent to Service Workers, CSS corner-shorthand and text-decoration-inset, streamHTMLUnsafe methods, and HTML-in-canvas.
👩💻 Chrome 157
Chrome 157 gives developers access to ProgressEvent in Service Workers, bringing their context in line with standard workers and the XMLHttpRequest specification. CSS gains corner-shorthand (for configuring border-radius and corner-shape together), text-decoration-inset for controlling underline offsets, string values for text-overflow, and the anchor-valid and anchor-visible values for position-visibility. For DOM manipulation, there are new HTML insertion and streaming methods (streamHTMLUnsafe and positional methods like appendHTML), while Canvas gets native HTML-in-canvas primitives. In addition, Long Animation Frames now report style and layout timing. Finally, Origin Trials have started for Overscroll Areas and Connection Allowlists for <iframe>.
