Google has rolled out Chrome 77 stable for multiple platforms

Now Chrome 77 stable releases for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android. Chrome 77 hits the stable channel on September 10. This version provides even more options than its predecessor.


This update brings several new features for its users. It brings easy customization to Chrome. The update also includes new performance metrics, form capabilities, and Origin Trials.


The first new feature is the Contact Picker API, an on-demand picker that lets users select entries from their contact list and share limited details of the selected entries with a website.


Chrome 77 removes credit card issuer networks as payment method names.


This update introduces two new performance metrics to help developers measure how quickly the main content of a web page loads and is visible to users.


Now you can able to apply your favorite colors to Chrome’s browser toolbars with a few clicks from the New Tab page. To find these options, click “Customize” at the bottom right corner of your New Tab page.


There’s a new “Refresh daily” option that will automatically change your New Tab page background every day.


The Background section lets you select a nice background image or upload your own.


In Chrome 77, Largest Contentful Paint attempts to provide more meaningful data by using the largest content element as a proxy for when the main content of the page is likely visible to users.


It also includes site isolation improvements to protect cross-site data, such as cookies and HTTP resources, in attacker-controlled websites.


The new version also lets you launch guest browsing by default using the –guest command line flag or the new BrowserGuestModeEnforced policy. With guest browsing, browsing activity is not written to the disk and does not persist between browser sessions.


This version brings new features that support custom form controls.


Google is always adding new web features to Chrome. You’ll never notice many of these features until they pop up on web pages. They make the web faster, more powerful, and more secure.
