Looks like 99.0.4844.84 is the release we want.

Release 99.0.4844.84 has borked my JS canvas library. Currently working on a fix - it was my misunderstanding of the purpose of the CanvasAPI willReadFrequently flag that left the library open to a severe speed degradation.

In my defence the documentation implies that the willReadFrequently flag is only a hint to the browser, to take a different approach when performing getImageData() operations[1]. However setting the flag to true also impacts drawImage() functionality[2].

I tried reporting the issue as a bug last night - at the very least the issue needs to be documented - but the form for reporting issues kept collapsing on me so I gave up.

I just upgraded to this and noticed the Reading List has changed design again! They must have gone back and forth thousands of times on this so hopefully this is the final version.
It's definitely not yet out for Android.

On my device the version is stuck at: 99.0.4844.73

I have 99.0.4844.88, updated yesterday. The release notes for Android don't mention the CVE. https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2022/03/stable-channel...
I just checked the play store and there was indeed a pending update for chrome. Now at .88.

Until the next C++VE, cheers!
