Google Chrome version 76 is now out, with the highlight feature being websites adhering to your device's theme. That means Chrome can now detect if a site has its own dark theme and automatically activate it if you set a dark theme on your device.
According to Android Police, the aforementioned feature only works on devices running Android Q.
Another highlight feature is the inability for websites to detect whether you've enabled Incognito Mode. That means you can get around certain websites' cookie-based paywalls, though websites can simply change their types of paywalls to push away non-paying eyeballs.

Rounding out the feature set are more powerful Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), links to sentences and phrases through the chrome://flags#enable-text-fragement-anchor flag, Adobe Flash Player being disabled by default on the desktop, blocking websites from opening more than one full-screen window at once, and more.
There's even a Tron Easter egg included in Chrome v76. If you enable the #identity-disc flag, you'll see your Google profile picture on the top-right corner of the New Tab page. Tapping the profile picture takes you to Sync and Google services, where you can sync your Chrome data and manage other services.
