Let us now discuss the significant changes included in this update, and then see how you can install this latest build for the Chrome browser.

Release Summary

Improvements in Chrome 105

Windows Controls for Web Apps

With this update, developers will now be able to customize the web applications to add controls to the title bar, as well as other elements, such as search bars. Google has been working on making the web app experience as if they were native apps. Chrome 105 enhances that ability.

This new feature will open doors for developers to add many new things directly to the title bar. They can norally anything they can think of which can fit in the dead space inside the title bar.

Sanitizer API

Previously, the web applications health with untrusted strings using libraries, which could be tricky, and also added a small maintenance burden on the app.

Google has now introduced the Sanitizer API, which is designed with safety in mind and is entirely customizable. it allows you to specify the different configuration options, like dropping or allowing certain elements.

Custom In-Page Search UI

Users often use the in-page search feature in Chrome by pressing the CTRL + F shortcut keys. However, they were all presented with the same old boring search box and UI.

Now, the developers can customize the UI and the way the text is highlighted on web applications natively, which could previously only be achieved through additional extensions, which added a minor load on the website itself.
