By Magic Actions - Tuesday, April 8, 2025. Google has recently rolled out Chrome 135, introducing a suite of new features, security enhancements, and developer tools to its widely-used web browser. This update aims to improve user experience, bolster security, and provide developers with more robust capabilities. Additionally, Chrome 135 enhances the integration with YouTube, offering users a more seamless and enriched video streaming experience.
Chrome 135 addresses 13 security vulnerabilities, with several reported by external researchers. Notable fixes include:
Inappropriate implementation in Custom Tabs (CVE-2025-3067 Security severity: High) - A security bug in Google Chrome's user tab implementation allows remote attackers to access sensitive information. The flaw can be exploited by creating a specially crafted web page that, when visited by a victim, enables the attacker to retrieve private data without authorization.
Inappropriate implementation in Intents (CVE-2025-3068 Security severity: High) - This security vulnerability allows a remote cyber-attacker to perform privilege escalation through a specially crafted malicious HTML page and gain access to sensitive information.
Inappropriate implementation in Extensions (CVE-2025-3069 Security severity: High) - This vulnerability is due to a flawed implementation in Google Chrome’s extensions. A remote attacker could exploit it by crafting a malicious web page that deceives the user into visiting it, potentially allowing unauthorized access to sensitive personal data.
Additionally, Chrome 135 introduces "HTST Tracking Prevention," a privacy feature that prevents third parties from using HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for tracking purposes.
CSS Enhancements for Carousels: The introduction of pseudo-elements like "::scroll-button()" and "::scroll-marker()" enables developers to create carousels using only CSS, reducing reliance on JavaScript.
Declarative Button Behaviors with "command" and "commandfor" Attributes: Developers can now assign behaviors to buttons in a more accessible and declarative manner, simplifying the creation of interactive elements.
"shape()" CSS Function: This function allows for the definition of complex shapes for properties like "clip-path" and "offset-path," offering greater flexibility in design.
Web Speech API Updates: The Web Speech API now includes "MediaStreamTrack" support, enhancing capabilities for real-time speech applications.
For enterprise and educational users, Chrome 135 offers:
Enhanced Password Form Detection: Utilizes a new client-side Machine Learning model to better parse password forms, increasing detection and filling accuracy.
While specific details about new YouTube integration features in Chrome 135 are not extensively documented, users can expect improvements in video playback performance and stability. These enhancements aim to provide a smoother and more immersive viewing experience on YouTube.
