New Delhi: Internet giant Google Inc has launched an updated version of its browser Chrome known as the Chrome 42.
The latest version, available for Windows, Mac and Linux, comes with a 'Push Notifications' feature that will update users about their favourite sites.
Here are some of the salient features of Chrome 42:
- Google has released an updated version of its browser for Windows, Mac and Linux, bringing Push Notifications to your desktop.
- Push Notifications now adds the ability for web developers to ‘push’ notifications directly to your browser when you subscribe to them.
- Other than receiving a mail about these changes or reading about it via an RSS feed update, users can now be updated in real time as these changes happen, even when that page is not open.
- Other key updates in Chrome 42 include a disabled Oracle Java plugin along with other browser extensions that use Netscape Plugin API (NPAPI), which has often been the cause of browser-based security incidents, crashes and code complexity.
