Some of the key highlights of Chrome 88 include:
- 36 security fixes, including for a critical issue over insufficient policy enforcement in Cryptohome. There are also many security issues resolved that were considered high priority.
- Adobe Flash Player support has been completely cleared out now that Adobe Flash is end-of-life upstream.
- The target="_blank" behavior now implies rel="noopener" by default for security purposes.
- CSS aspect-ratio property support as well as support for "hyphens: auto" mode.
- Various WebXR improvements like lighting estimation and dynamic viewport scaling.
- Support for FTP has been completely removed from Google Chrome following its earlier deprecation.
