The name of the 'Snooze tabs' feature will change to 'Memory Saver', and what it will do is discard tabs that have been in the background after a certain time, when the user clicks on any of the discarded tabs, a chip will appear in the address bar for a few seconds:
The user will be able to add specific pages to a list of excluded sites, on those sites the tabs will not be discarded.
Google has also added the 'In-Product Help' dialog for Battery Saver mode, clicking Settings will open the new 'Performance' page in the Battery section:
By the way, the 'Performance' entry is already available in Settings (in Canary), but for now the page is empty:
The redesigned UI is now partially available in Chrome Canary, and instead of being part of the Settings page as a section, the Password Manager now has its own page, here's what it looks like:
The 'Checkup' section is empty for now. This is a preliminary version and there is still a lot to add, there will be more entries in the left sidebar, for example the 'Passkeys' section.
new stable Version 105.0.5195.127 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Edge has a feature that allows you to search for highlighted text in a sidebar, Chrome will also have this feature and is already working in Chrome Canary:
For those curious, this is the item for this feature in Edge's context menu:
Apparently there will also be 2 items in Chrome's context menu, one to open search results for the selected text in a new tab and one to open those results in the Side panel.
