Google Chrome 28 Is Out: Rich Notifications For Apps, Extensions

Posted by Soulskill on from the extending-its-lead-on-firefox's-version-number dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Google today released Chrome version 28 for Windows and Mac. The new version features a notification center, although it's only available on Windows (in addition to Chrome OS of course). You can update to the latest release now using the browser's built-in silent updater, or download it directly from google.com/chrome. This is also the first release of Chrome that ships with Blink instead of WebKit. You can check the Blink ID yourself tag by navigating to chrome://version/."

    I don't think there is anything done on the web that Google isn't aware of these days so you may as well just make it easier for them.

    I haven't thought of anything clever to put here, but then again most of you haven't either.

    Oh man do hangouts suck. With Talk on my phone I could tell if people were online or not. Hangouts doesn't indicate (on Android).

    They also take 5-10 seconds to activate. Like the dam thing isn't * phoning * home, it is composing a letter long hand.
