# 8.3.0

ReleasedReleased on August 15, 2021

**Features:**

-   The instructions for recording a run have been updated for some users. Addressed in [#17317](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/17317).
    

**Performance:**

-   We addressed an issue that increased CPU usage during video recording in Chrome 89+/Electron 12+. Fixes [#16152](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16152).
    
-   Fixed a regression in [7.2.0](#7-2-0) that would cause `cy.visit()` to take longer to fire its load event in some circumstances. Fixes [#16671](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16671).
    

**Bugfixes:**

-   Fixed an issue that could cause intermittent OpenSSL errors when the local CA cert cache becomes corrupted. Fixes [#8705](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/8705).
    
-   Fixed a regression in [7.2.0](#7-2-0) causing the menu bar of Cypress to not be clickable in Windows. Fixes [#16323](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16323).
    
-   `res.send` of `cy.intercept()` will no longer override JSON-related content types. Fixes [#17084](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/17084).
    
-   The `times` option of `cy.intercept` now works properly with `req.reply`. Fixes [#17139](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/17139).
    
-   Fixed a regression in [8.0.0](#8-0-0) where Cypress would always warn that `chromeWebSecurity` is set to "false" when it wasn't. Fixes [#17614](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/17614).

-   Upgraded Chrome browser version used during `cypress run` and when selecting Electron browser in `cypress open` from `89` to `91`. Addressed in [#17408](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/17408).
