Some highlights from google Chrom HTML , (yes only some points). Some of them were actually presented in google gears.
Web SQL Database
You can create tables and CRUD the data.
Web Worker
Multiple threaded javascript execution is available, which is handy for people making use of many Web design tools on the market and in the world of development. Java has become a big power in the coding world over the last decade, and so this functionality, to many, is necessary.
Socket TCP protocol
This will make bidirectional, duplex communication channels that helped to make push model service available. Lower layer protocol can make things a lot faster, both for those using the website on the public side and for those running things behind the scenes.
Geolocation
It is spooky. It made it possible for the browser to figure out where I am even without GPS. How? The service provider e.g. google collects the wifi networks around the world (I guess they do it while shooting the street view) and they know my wireless id and so they can identify my location from my internet traffic.
Form input
Lots of more strong typed input type. e.g. input of telephone, email, number, color and range etc.
Media
Play video and audio by built-in player.
