Chrome 101 beta was released on March 31, 2022 and is expected to become the stable version in late April, 2022.
Chrome is reducing the amount of information the User-Agent string exposes in HTTP requests as well as in navigator.userAgent, navigator.appVersion, and navigator.platform. We're doing this to prevent the user agent string from being used for passive user fingerprinting. To join the origin trial, see its entry on Chrome Origin Trials.
WebSQL in third-party contexts is now removed. The Web SQL Database standard was first proposed in April 2009 and abandoned in November 2010. Gecko never implemented this feature and WebKit deprecated it in 2019. The W3C encourages Web Storage and Indexed Database for those needing alternatives.
Developers should expect that WebSQL itself will be deprecated and removed when usage is low enough.
