New in Chrome 114: text-wrap:balance, CHIPS, Popover API and more!-YouTube
◆ It is possible to wrap text beautifully
'text-wrap' has been newly added to CSS properties. By specifying 'balance' as the value of text-wrap, the text will be wrapped as evenly as possible.
Finding the best position to wrap is computationally expensive, so if the text exceeds 4 lines, it will not work.
◆ 'Partitioned' is added to the attribute of Cookie
Third-party cookies are scheduled to be phased out in the second half of 2024, but as of May 2023, it is still possible to share the same cookie between sites.
For example, as shown in the figure below, if the contents of the same site C are embedded in the site A and the site B, the same user accesses both sites A and B based on the cookie information. I understand. Third-party cookies are being phased out because of this privacy violation.
Even with the same 'embedding', there are situations where you want to use third-party cookies in a way that does not infringe on privacy, such as saving settings when embedding widgets. Third-party cookies can still be used by using the 'Partitioned' attribute added from Chrome 114. However, third-party cookies with the 'Partitioned' attribute will store different cookies for each site. This prevents users from being tracked.
◆ Support
The popover API makes it easy to bring specific elements to the front of the screen.
The popover API has the following features.
・Promotion to the top tier
The popover element is displayed in a special layer that is displayed on top, so it can be used without worrying about z-index.
・Easily close function
Clicking outside the popover element closes the popover and returns focus to the original page. In addition, it is also possible to turn off this function depending on the setting.

While the popover is visible, tabbing will move focus within the popover.
・Keyboard operation possible
Press the 'Esc' key to close the popover.

By using the element's ID and the 'popovertarget' property, it is possible to implement the popover function without using JavaScript.
