◆ Carousel implementation is now easier
A number of CSS features have been added to the 'carousel' feature, which displays multiple images and other content in a slide format. From Chrome 135 onwards, it is possible to implement a carousel like the one in the following movie using only CSS.


You can easily implement a carousel by using the carousel configurator . When you configure the carousel with the switch at the top, a preview will appear in the center. If there are no problems, you can use the code at the bottom.

◆ Call command API will be implemented
Until now, 'popovertarget' and 'popovertargetaction' have been used to control popovers, but the functionality that could be achieved with these

popover APIs was limited to basic ones, and complex control required the use of JavaScript.

Chrome 135 introduced the Invoker Commands API , which allows for more complex control of popovers without using JavaScript, as well as the ability to control elements other than popovers.

Here's a code example: Now we can set a declarative relationship between buttons and menus, making it simple to achieve functionality.

◆ Support for shape() function in CSS
You can now use

the shape() function to specify the shape of the clip-path and offset-path properties. It provides the same functionality as the path() function, but whereas the path() function required values to be specified in svg format, the shape() function allows the use of CSS syntax and functions.

◆Other updates
- Added support for MediaStreamTrack to the Web Audio API .
-Float16Array is now supported.
・Observable API is now supported.

Google Chrome 135 also includes 14 security bug fixes .

The next stable version, Google Chrome 136, is scheduled to be released on April 29, 2025 local time.
