Chrome 144 introduces a new `<geolocation>`HTML Element to implement more impactful user location permission request flows.
The new element serves multiple purposes, from location sensor access request as well as providing access to location data without the need to call the Geolocation JS API.
Signal API is now available on Chrome for Android.
A user deletes their credential on the website, but the passkey remains in their passkey provider. The next time they try to sign in, the passkey provider offers a passkey that no longer works. A sign-in attempt will fail and this isn't ideal.

Great to see Banking Apps adopting Passkeys for a passwordless and more secure future!
PS: Passkeys can be shared across web and app, making login seamless across channels (web to app or viceversa) by using the Digital Asset Link JSON!

If you thought we were done with View Transitions, guess again!
A feature Chrome is working on, is “Scoped View Transitions”, which allow you to scope a VT to a subtree of the DOM.
This unlocks things like concurrent transitions and prevents layering issues.

This event is great both for the inspirational talks as well as for the opportunity to meet folks from different companies and backgrounds to discuss how to successfully tackle web performance challenges!
It's really common in Italy to find two menu sides, one with Red and White pizzas.
Having said that it depends on the ingredients.
If you have really good Ingredients, you may not need all that red industrial tomato sauce...
Very exciting news. With these changes, you can more easily build accordions such as seen in this recording.

The Chrome DevTools Performance panel just leveled up! 🚀 Here's a 69-second taste of the new hotness.
For some developers and/or framework authors I presume a notification could help understanding when a new feature is coming to land some experiment to send feedback and verify whether the feature suite their needs.
I think so, I personally subscribed to blink-dev because I am curious about when something starts to be available for experiment and be notified when something ships.
BFCache can hugely influence your page performance for URLs high on Back Forward Navigation types.
If you use CrUX or RUM and you see a lot of traffic in % attributed on Back Forward and few on BFCache maybe you are leaving money on the table!
CruXVis can help you measuring this opportunity!

We're updating Lighthouse to be based on the same Insights we recently launched in the Performance panel of Chrome DevTools.

This will help align the tools but will be a breaking change. So we'll make that change in Lighthouse 13 in 6 months.
