Google will soon make a significant change to Chrome—one that you probably won’t notice. On Wednesday, Google announced that an upcoming Chrome release will remove the notification center (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2039701/google-tests-enhanced-notifications-in-chrome-browser.html) in Windows, Mac, and Linux. The notification center will remain in Chrome OS, however.</p><p>
If you don’t know what Chrome’s notification center is, open Chrome on Windows and then click the upward facing arrow on the far right of the taskbar. See that little bell icon? That’s notification center.</p><figure class="medium right"><a class="zoom" href="https://cms-images.idgesg.net/images/article/2015/10/chrome-notificatoins-100622020-orig.png"><img src="(http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2015/10/chrome-notificatoins-100622020-medium.png)" alt="chrome notificatoins" width="300" height="267"/>[/url]</figure>

If you click the bell icon, you’ll see something similar to what’s pictured here with notifications from Google Now, as well as Chrome apps and extensions. The notification center can also provide toast pop-up notifications alerting you to new email, a Hangouts message, and so on, similar to the Action Center in Windows 10. The feature first rolled out in 2013 (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2044020/chrome-rich-notifications-go-live-for-all-windows-users-good-luck-using-them.html).</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2993484/browsers/google-dumps-chromes-notification-center-on-windows-linux-and-mac.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
