Chrome 95 beta was released on September 23rd with some changes. In addition to new features and capabilities, including an API for using the eyedropper, the developers have decided to completely remove support for FTP links from the browser. The main reason is that it is impractical for the company to develop this tool, which is already outdated in the browser, since the number of users is extremely small.
Chrome does not currently support secure FTP (i.e. FTPS) or proxy connections. According to research from Google, in 28 days, only ~ 0.01% of Chrome users on all platforms used FTP in the browser.
The developers are aware that other web browsers (Firefox, Safari, Edge, IE) have FTP support, and they deliberately refuse to further develop this option. In addition, each platform has advanced FTP clients for those users who really need them – this was the second reason to completely abandon FTP support.
Among other things, the Chrome 95 beta introduced the EyeDropper API. Thanks to it, developers of web applications will be able to add a full-fledged eyedropper to their browser utilities to copy the color of pixels. Some web browsers now embed the eyedropper in elements, but there is very limited scope for integrating it into the user interface.
