It wasn’t that long ago that Umar Hansa published a look at the most interesting new features in Chrome DevTools released in 2020. In fact, it was just earlier this month!

But in that short amount of time, Chrome has a few new tricks up its sleeve. One of the features Umar covered was the ability to emulate certain browsing conditions including, among many, vision deficiencies like blurred vision.

Chrome 86 introduces new emulators!

  • Emulate missing local fonts (great for testing when a user’s device does not have an installed font)
  • Emulate prefers-reduced-data (to complement Chrome support for this new feature!)
  • Emulate inactive users (yay, no more multiple browser windows with different user accounts!)
