Google Chrome beta brings push notifications to your browser<article>
<section class="page">
<p>
Google just added a new feature to the Chrome beta channel that promises to make the company's browser even more like a standalone operating system.</p><p>
Web developers can now make use of two new application programming interfaces (APIs) that work together to send mobile-style push notifications to the desktop on Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, and Linux. Prior to the release of Google Chrome beta 42, the features were available in Canary Chrome's early adopter test build.</p><p>
Chrome first began displaying
pop-up notifications nearly four years ago. The difference now is that these new versions will appear even if the site's tab is closed. As before, push notifications will require explicit permission before they can be delivered to your desktop. Notifications will also include a
Site settings button that will let you stop sites from sending further notifications if your browser becomes too noisy.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2896637/google-chrome-beta-brings-push-notifications-to-your-browser.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
