Provides a means of performing gzip and deflate compression from JavaScript using streams. This covers two interfaces: CompressionStream and DecompressionStream.

}
Provides safe access to descendent object members with parents that may or may not be null. This applies to objects as well as functions. For example, consider an object reference with three levels such as a.b.c. Testing for the existence of c would previously require nesting said test inside a test for b. This change allows you to test for c directly without an error being thrown when b is null.

Adds rollback, which is a way to cancel an on-going negotiation. This is needed if two WebRTC endpoints attempt to send an offer at the same time. In this case, one of the endpoints has to cancel its local offer by rolling back so that it can accept the incoming offer. This lets it complete the remote negotiation then create a follow-up offer after it becomes stable. Without it, negotiation cannot complete.

}
Provides a way for websites to request information about the user’s contact(s) and provides a UI for the user to share those details in a way that makes it clear what is being shared with the website. This could be used for bootstrapping a friends list on a social network or (in an email/messaging application) to select message recipients.

JavaScript will support modules in dedicated workers. Using a new value for the constructor's type attribute, worker scripts are loaded as ES modules and the import statement is available on worker contexts. With this feature, web developers can more easily write programs in a composable way and share them among a page and workers.

Pages may no longer use the window.open() API to open a new page during its unload. The popup blocker already prohibits this, but now it is prohibited whether or not the popup blocker is enabled. Enterprises used to be able to use the AllowPopupsDuringPageUnload policy flag to allow popups during unload. We removed this flag in Chrome 88.
