• Fixed a crash when a webContents navigated to the Chrome Web Store and the page invoked the unsupported chrome.webstorePrivate API. #53776 (Also in 45)
• Fixed a main-process crash when an app called loadURL() again right after a load failed because the renderer process exited before the page committed. #53943 (Also in 43, 45)
• Fixed a memory leak on Windows when app.getPreferredSystemLanguages() was called. #53868 (Also in 43, 45)

• Fixed V8 code caching for https scripts loaded by file:// and custom-scheme pages. #53745 (Also in 45)
• Fixed webContents emitting unresponsive right after the system wakes from sleep on Windows, and emitting responsive when a hung window was hidden rather than when it recovered. #53764 (Also in 45)
• Fixed webContents.capturePage() on offscreen windows returning an image resampled to the display's scale factor instead of rendered at the window's offscreen.deviceScaleFactor. #53816 (Also in 43, 45)
