The window.getScreenDetails() method gets information about the screens on a device, which you can use to place new windows on a specific screen with window.open().

The BarcodeDetector API recognizes various barcode formats in images.

The navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia() method asks the user to choose a screen or portion of a screen (such as a window) to capture as a media stream.

The <datalist> element sets recommended values for an <input> element. Browsers may show a dropdown menu of all values or match values as the user types.

The signalUnknownCredential(), signalAllAcceptedCredentials(), and signalCurrentUserDetails() methods of PublicKeyCredential inform authenticators of the state of public key credentials, so that incorrect or revoked credentials may be updated, removed, or hidden.

The JPEG XL image format is a raster graphics file format that supports animation, alpha transparency, and lossy as well as lossless compression.

The frame-sizing CSS property sets the size of an <iframe> element to that of it contents, to avoid scrolling in the iframe. Embedded documents allow this with the <meta name="responsive-embedded-sizing"> element and request resizing in the embedding page by calling window.requestResize().

The corner-shape CSS property sets the shape of an element's corners when using border-radius, allowing for shapes other than rounded corners. For example, corner-shape: squircle is a shape in between a square and rounded corner.

The calc-size() CSS function computes mathematical expressions that include height and width keyword values, for example calc-size(fit-content, size / 2). Not to be confused with the calc() CSS function, which cannot use keyword values.

The @function CSS at-rule defines a custom function that takes CSS values or custom properties as arguments, and returns a CSS value. It can be based on conditional logic such as by using the @media at-rule.

The Sanitizer API customizes the sanitization of HTML parsed and inserted into the DOM in a way that can prevent cross-site scripting attacks. You can use it with DOM APIs that accept a sanitizer option, such as parseHTML() or setHTML().

The link-parameters CSS property, param() modifier for the url() CSS function, and the #:~:param(…) URL fragment set custom CSS environment variables on an external resource, such as an SVG image, allowing the external resource to adapt its presentation based on the variables.

The navigator.gpu API performs operations such as rendering and computation on dedicated graphics hardware (also known as a Graphics Processing Unit).

Colors in CSS and <canvas> elements can be defined out of range of an output device or the color space of the canvas. Gamut mapping brings the color into range while preserving hue and lightness.

The beforeunload event is fired when the current window is about to be unloaded. Typically this is used to display a dialog to confirm if users really want to leave the page when there is unsaved data that would be lost.

The attr() CSS function, in the context of any property, returns the value of an attribute of an HTML element, with the option to return it as a specific type or unit. You can set a default value for missing or invalid attributes.

The navigator.share() method invokes the device's native sharing mechanism and passes text, links, files, and other content to share targets. Also known as the Web Share API.
