New
#881
A new flag appeared today in Chrome Canary (it still doesn't work):
This has to do with a feature that Microsoft is going to implement in Chromium-based browsers:
Add Win specific touch-initiated fling animation
This CL will enable Chromium on Windows to have a touch fling inertia that behaves more like Edge and other native applications.
Note that this implementation does not modify the curve depending on the scroller’s size, something that may be desired. User feedback will be used to determine the importance of bringing that behavior to Chromium.
New Edge (with fling animation) vs Chrome (without fling animation).

After these changes, Google has decided to restore one of the entries removed from the tab context menu:
New tab to the right.
It's Peter Kasting again who explains the reasons for restoring this option:
Restore "New Tab" context menu option on tabstrip; rename string for clarity.
This is a partial revert of https://chromium-review.googlesource.../src/+/1761666 coupled with a string change discussed over email with srahim/markchang.
At the time of removing the functionality we believed it was redundant with Ctrl-T and the New Tab Button; after removal, user feedback alerted us that this particular option served a slightly different use case.
