The Web Cryptography JavaScript API is enabled by default starting in Chrome 37, allowing developers to perform cryptographic operations such as hashing, signature generation/verification, and encryption.

Subpixel font scaling is now supported, which enables smooth animations of text between font sizes.

TouchEvent co-ordinates are now doubles instead of longs, enabling higher-fidelity touch interactions on high-DPI displays.

CSS cursor values "zoom-in" and "zoom-out" are now unprefixed.

The number of cores on a physical machine can now be accessed by navigator.hardwareConcurrency.

The user's preferred languages are now accessible by navigator.languages, and the languagechange event is fired when this is updated.

The CSS Shapes Module allows developers to define non-rectangular text wrapping boundaries around floated elements.

NPAPI deprecation continues according to our previously-announced plan with a harder-to-bypass blocking UI.

The default monospace font on Windows is now Consolas instead of Courier New.

Cross-origin fonts are now blocked unless the response includes the appropriate CORS headers.
