    New Alpha Release: Tor Browser 16.0a7

    Tor Browser 16.0a7 adds important Firefox security updates and updates NoScript, Tor, Firefox, and GeckoView while fixing issues across desktop, Android, and build tooling.

    Tor Browser 16.0a7 is now available from the Tor Browser download page and also from our distribution directory.

    This version includes important security updates to Firefox.

    ⚠️ Reminder: The Tor Browser Alpha release-channel is for testing only. As such, Tor Browser Alpha is not intended for general use because it is more likely to include bugs affecting usability, security, and privacy.

    Moreover, Tor Browser Alphas are now based on Firefox's betas. Please read more about this important change in the Future of Tor Browser Alpha blog post.

    If you are an at-risk user, require strong anonymity, or just want a reliably-working browser, please stick with the stable release channel.

    Google Chrome by Google

    Chrome 149

    Google Chrome releases a broad stable update for desktop and Android with new CSS gap decorations and shape-outside options, improved text overflow interaction, tighter privacy controls, bfcache WebSocket support, and updates to Clipboard, Payment Request, Intl.Locale, and WebAssembly APIs.

    CSS gap decorations

    CSS gap decorations let you style gaps in container layouts like grid and flexbox, similar to column-rule in multiple-column layout. This feature is highly requested by web developers who must use hacks to style the gaps in grid and flexbox layouts today.

    It brings new CSS properties like column-rule-inset, row-rule-inset, column-rule-visibility-items, and row-rule-visibility-items, and supports animation of rule width, color, and insets.

    CSS gap decorations blog post | Tracking bug #357648037 | ChromeStatus.com entry | Spec

    When a user interacts (for example, by editing or using caret navigation) with text that has text-overflow: ellipsis set, the text temporarily switches from ellipsis to clip. This lets the user see and interact with the hidden overflow content. This feature applies to all editable and non-editable elements. For form controls, such as <textarea> and <input>, this behavior is already supported.

    Tracking bug #40731275 | ChromeStatus.com entry | Spec

    This change removes the erroneous border-color: gray CSS rule from the UA stylesheet for the <table> element. The HTML specification does not contain this rule, and it prevented borders from defaulting to currentColor. Neither Firefox nor WebKit have this gray border color rule in their UA stylesheet, leading to interoperability issues.

    Tracking bug #494554835 | ChromeStatus.com entry | Spec

    Support path() and shape() in shape-outside

    Adds support for the path() and shape() shape functions in the CSS shape-outside property. These functions let developers define float exclusion shapes more flexibly and support animation.

    Tracking bug #502328208 | ChromeStatus.com entry | Spec

    Support rect() and xywh() in shape-outside

    Adds support for the rect() and xywh() basic shape functions in the CSS shape-outside property. These functions let developers define float exclusion shapes using rectangle coordinates, aligning Chrome with Firefox and Safari which already support this feature.

    Tracking bug #490343453 | ChromeStatus.com entry | Spec

    User action pseudo-class top layer boundary

    Changes :hover, :active, and :focus-within matching on parents of elements to match only up to the first top layer element in the parent chain. Since top layer elements are typically rendered disconnected from their parent chain visually, it does not make sense to change parent styles when a top layer element is hovered or activated.

    Tracking bug #407769114 | ChromeStatus.com entry | Spec

    Web app scope system accent color

    Restricts access to the system accent color for CSS keywords (AccentColor and AccentColorText) and accent-color: auto to be only within a web app and initial profile context. This limits a significant fingerprinting vector when exposing the user's system colors widely on the web.

    Tracking bug #481353056 | ChromeStatus.com entry | Spec

    image-rendering: crisp-edges

    image-rendering: crisp-edges indicates that image should be scaled in a way that preserves contrast and edges, and which avoids smoothing colors or introducing blur to the image in the process.

    Chrome, Firefox, and Safari treat crisp-edges and pixelated as synonyms and implement both using nearest-neighbor scaling.

    Tracking bug #41073066 | ChromeStatus.com entry | Spec

    Support 'path-length' as a CSS property

    Introduces a new CSS property, path-length, which maps to the SVG pathLength presentation attribute. This applies to SVG geometry elements that support pathLength (including <path>, <circle>, <rect>, <line>, <polyline>, <polygon>, and <ellipse>), allowing authors to specify it in stylesheets, inline styles, and animations.

    Tracking bug #40670251 | ChromeStatus.com entry | Spec

    Web APIs

    Intl.Locale.prototype.variants

    Adds Intl.Locale.prototype.variants as stated in the ECMA-402 specification, and accepts variants in the options bag in the Intl.Locale constructor.

    ChromeStatus.com entry | Spec

    Payment Request: Allow payment handlers to report back internal errors

    Lets payment handlers accessed using the Payment Request API return distinct errors for "user cancelled" (AbortError) versus "internal payment app error" (OperationError). This lets developers retry or fall back to a different flow when an internal app error occurs, while properly stopping if the user cancels.

    Tracking bug #473478138 | ChromeStatus.com entry | Spec

    Respect autocorrect="off" for Windows touch keyboard in TSF

    Makes Chrome's TSF integration detect and revert touch keyboard autocorrections on Windows when the focused editable element has autocorrect="off" set.

    Tracking bug #487613498 | ChromeStatus.com entry | Spec

    Selective Clipboard Format Read

    Enhances the Asynchronous Clipboard API by deferring actual clipboard data retrieval from the OS until the web application calls getType(). Instead of eagerly fetching all available formats at read() time, the browser now returns ClipboardItem objects with available MIME types but without the underlying data, which reduces CPU usage and improves responsiveness.

    Tracking bug #435051711 | ChromeStatus.com entry | Spec

    Network and connectivity

    Disconnect WebSockets on bfcache entry

    Active WebSocket connections no longer prevent a page from entering the Back/Forward Cache (bfcache). By closing connections on bfcache entry instead of marking the document as ineligible, the browser allows pages with active WebSockets to be stored and restored.

    Tracking bug #467838624 | ChromeStatus.com entry | Spec

    New origin trials

    Gamepad event-driven input API

    Extends the Gamepad API with a new event-driven model that lets applications receive gamepad input with lower latency. Instead of relying on frequent polling using navigator.getGamepads(), developers can now listen for a rawgamepadinputchange event, which fires whenever new input data is available from the device.

    Origin Trial | Tracking bug #40582297 | ChromeStatus.com entry | Spec

    Permissions Policy: focus-without-user-activation

    Permissions Policy: focus-without-user-activation

    Lets embedders control programmatic focus from embedded content with the focus-without-user-activation permissions policy. When the policy is denied for a frame, programmatic focus calls (element.focus(), autofocus, window.focus(), dialog.showModal(), and popover focusing) are blocked unless triggered by user activation.

    Origin Trial | Tracking bug #40095111 | ChromeStatus.com entry | Spec

    WebAssembly custom descriptors

    Lets WebAssembly store data associated with source-level types more efficiently in new "custom descriptor" objects. These custom descriptors can be configured with prototypes for the WebAssembly objects of that source-level type, which lets methods be installed on a WebAssembly object's prototype chain and called directly from JavaScript using normal method call syntax.

    Origin Trial | Tracking bug #403372470 | ChromeStatus.com entry | Spec

    Opera 132 Stable

    Opera Desktop releases an initial update based on Chromium 148.0.7778.97, bringing Early Bird Vertical Tabs improvements with drag-and-drop tab islands and smoother animations, plus Google Meet PiP fixes and other UI and crash fixes.

    Dear Opera Users!

    • Smooth animations when expanding/collapsing tab islands

    • Fixed: too much space between tab strip and page content
    • Fixed: tab islands ungrouping randomly after restart

    Google Meet

    • Fixed: PiP buttons requiring multiple clicks on Windows
    • Fixed: PiP window resizing only working from the top edge

    Other Fixes

    • Fixed: “Next” button hidden on 14-inch displays during onboarding

    Known issue:
