Google has promoted Chrome 128 to its stable channel across macOS, Windows, and Linux platforms.

The Chrome 128 release brings a number of new features including Isolated Web Apps, which is an extensible of existing work on PWA installations and Web Packaging to provide stronger security/protections against tampering and web server compromise. For the moment this Isolated Web Apps support is limited to the admin policy on enterprise-managed ChromeOS devices.

Chrome 128 also brings standardized CSS zoom support after previously supporting the non-standard CSS zoom property. Chrome 128 also delivers on new Attribution Reporting API features, CSS ruby-align property functionality, line-breakable Ruby support, Promise.try handling, WebAuthn hints, and more. Behind a developer trial flag for Chrome 128 is WebGPU HDR extended range support.

More details on the Chrome 128 features via ChromeStatus.com. The Chrome Release Blog covers a number of security fixes shipping as part of Chrome 128, including seven high priority CVEs. A look at the new developer/API additions can also be found on the Chrome Developer Blog.
