Google Chrome 113 Is Now Available

The most significant improvement in Chrome 113 is support for WebGPU. The feature has been in development for several years, allowing web pages to display more advanced 3D graphics and speed up on-device machine learning algorithms. Google explained in a blog post, “WebGPU is a new API for the web, which exposes modern hardware capabilities and allows rendering and computation operations on a GPU, similar to Direct3D 12, Metal, and Vulkan. Unlike the WebGL family of APIs, WebGPU offers access to more advanced GPU features and provides first-class support for general computations on the GPU.”

Chrome 113 also has a few new CSS features for web developers to enjoy, and an experimental Private State Token API that is intended to be used after third party cookies are phased out. There aren’t any exciting additions for the rest of us, though — there is ongoing work on a redesign, but Google’s not ready to roll that out quite yet. Google is also testing a new Reader Modewhich should go live for everyone in the next update, Chrome 114.
