Chrome 75 Released With Web Share API File Support, Numeric Separators and Secret Reader Mode

'Google this week released Chrome 75 for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android,
and iOS. The release includes hint for low latency canvas contexts,
files supported in the Web Share API, numeric separators, and more
developer features. [...] Next, files are now supported by the Web
Share API. For years, Google has been working to bring native sharing
capabilities to the web. The Web Share API allows web apps to invoke
the same share dialog box as a native app. The implementation brings a
new method and a new shareData property. Numeric literals now allow
underscores (_, U+005F) as separators to make them more readable.
Underscores can only appear between digits, and consecutive
underscores are not allowed.

There is also a reader mode that is not enabled by default. From a report:

The big feature included with Chrome 75 is the addition of a hidden
Reader Mode, similar to the one included with Firefox. This new Reader
Mode is not active by default and must be turned on using one of
Google Chrome's experimental flags -- which until recently has only
been available in the Chrome Canary distribution. To enable and test
Chrome's new Reader Mode, users must visit the
chrome://flags/#enable-reader-mode section, and enable the Reader Mode
option, as in the screenshot below.

Chrome for Android includes these two features:

1. Generate strong and unique passwords with Chrome's built-in password manager.
2. Quickly look up your passwords by tapping any password field and
using the new keyboard option.'
