Chrome 113 released, WebGPU enabled by default

After four weeks of development, the stable version of Chrome 113 is officially launched. The new version includes AV1 video encoding for video teleconferencing, WebGPU, and other enhancements.

Enable WebGPU by default

WebGPU is a new API for the Web that uses modern hardware capabilities to allow rendering and computing operations on the GPU.

Unlike the WebGL family of APIs, WebGPU provides access to more advanced GPU features and provides first-class support for general computing on GPUs. Many widely used WebGL libraries are already working on implementing WebGPU support, which means that using WebGPU may only require a one-line code modification.

Babylon.js: already has full WebGPU support
PlayCanvas: Initial support for WebGPU has been announced
TensorFlow.js: Support WebGPU optimized version
Three.js: WebGPU support is in development

Devtools override network response headers

In DevTools, developers can now override the Response Headers in the Network panel.

Previously, you needed access to a web server to experiment with HTTP response headers. With response header overrides, you can do native prototyping fixes for a variety of headers, including but not limited to:

To override a header, navigate to Network > Headers > Response Headers , hover over the header's value, click Edit and edit it.

It is also possible to add a new header:

and edit all in one place:

FPS is gradually rolling out

First-Party Sets (FPS) are starting to roll out to the stable release. First Party Sets are part of the Privacy Sandbox. It's a way for organizations to declare relationships between websites so that browsers allow limited access to third-party cookies for specific purposes.

As part of the First-Party Sets work, Chrome is implementing and extending the Storage Access API, allowing websites to request access to their cookies in the context of third parties. With it, organizations with related websites (for example, using a different domain name, or a country-specific domain name) can still offer services such as single sign-on or shared sessions. The API will be slowly rolled out to users over several weeks for testing and evaluation.

Improved AV1 video calling

Chrome 113 improves and integrates the AV1 video codec:

Users with better network connections get improved video calls, with AV1 delivering better video quality at the same bandwidth compared to VP9, while running 25 percent faster on desktops.

Added note option on desktop

Added a sidebar notes feature that lets you jot down thoughts and notes next to your website. You need to enable the chrome://flags/#power-bookmark-backend and chrome://flags/#user-notes-side-panel flags to use this feature.
