This is done using the prefers-reduced-motion media query, which will read the setting from the operating system and allow web sites to honor it.

For example, this demo utilizes animation as you scroll to show images of cats. If a user has the 'Show animations in Windows' Windows 10 option turned off, the web site will honor this preference and not display the animations.

New Feature Policy Updates

Feature policies allow web sites to specify what APIs should be available on a web site. For example, a site can specify that it does not want the 'geolocation' api to be used on a site or its iframes by specifying a Feature-Policy: header or through attributes on an iframe tag.

Chrome 74 introduces a new set of APIs that allow you to query what features are enabled on the site.

High severity security issues fixed

The Chrome 74 update also includes 39 security fixes, with none of them being labeled as Critical, but five being labeled as High severity.

The rest of the security fixes added to Chrome 74 were found using internal audits through the use of tools such as AddressSanitizer, MemorySanitizer, UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer, Control Flow Integrity, libFuzzer, or AFL. Os x download.
