Payment requestAutocomplete() on Chrome for Android, Windows, Chrome OS PNaCl on desktop versions of Chrome New Chrome Apps APIs: With URL handlers for apps, Chrome App developers can now specify URLs to be handled by a Chrome App. For example, a document link on a website could open a document editor Chrome App. This gives users more seamless entry points into their favorite Chrome Apps. Directory access for Apps allows Chrome Apps to access and write to user-approved folders. This feature can be used to share files between a Chrome App and a native app. For example, a Chrome App code editor could modify files managed by a native Git client. SCTP for WebRTC Data Channel allows P2P data transfers between browsers to be either best effort, reliable, or semi reliable, opening up use cases such as gaming.

It allows JavaScript to generate media streams for playback, addressing use cases like adaptive streaming and time shifting live streams. 2D canvas now supports the "ellipse" method. Support for several Mutation Events has been removed.
