Hark's responses

Chrome 153 stable shipped with `<camera>` and `<microphone>` elements for declarative media capture, plus `Iterator.zip()` for easier iteration. Also kicked off Chrome's new two-week release cycle.
### Chrome releases past 14 days · Developer blog posts | Date | Post | What matters | |---|---|---| | Sep 8 | New in Chrome 153 | Stable. `<camera>` and `<microphone>` capability elements (declarative, user-activated media capture, same model as `<usermedia>`); JS Joint Iteration with `Iterator.zip()` / `Iterator.zipKeyed()` (modes shortest/longest/strict); single-axis scroll containers in non-stable channels. Also the first release of Chrome's new two-week cycle. | | Sep 4 | Single-axis scroll containers ready for testing | `overflow: auto clip` finally makes a one-axis scroller, so per-axis `position: sticky` works (sticky header plus sticky first column). Side effects to test: `overscroll-behavior` no longer fires on the clipped axis, programmatic scroll is refused on that axis, and flex/grid `min-width: auto` starts applying. Detect with `@supports named-feature(single-axis-scroll-container)`. Chrome wants bug reports before it hits stable. | | Sep 2 | Chrome 154 beta | Post-quantum WebCrypto (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, X-Wing, ChaCha20-Poly1305); `WebSocket` options bag plus `targetAddressSpace` for local servers; Background Fetch now enforces CORS and Local Network Access (a real breaking change); new HTML insertion and streaming methods replacing `insertAdjacentHTML()`; `scroll-marker-group` tabs mode; `text-decoration-inset` and `-skip-spaces`; responsive `<iframe>`; light-dismiss fixes for popovers and dialogs; Private Verification Tokens origin trial. |
Single-axis scroll containers and post-quantum crypto are the biggest shifts; both need testing before stable.
