Google Chrome 32 Is Out: Noisy Tabs Indicators, Supervised Users

Posted by Soulskill on from the no-more-hunting-for-that-autoplaying-video-tab dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Google today released Chrome version 32 for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The new version includes tab noise indicators, a new look for Windows 8 Metro mode, and automatic blocking of malware downloads. You can update to the latest release now using the browser's built-in silent updater, or download it directly from google.com/chrome."

    Why just identify the noisy background tab? Is there a setting to say "only play audio from the visible tab"?

    And if you want evil: the "block malware" is presumably done by sending the name/location of the file you want to download to a google server, where it can be preserved forever and delivered to the government on request.... nice.

    Id imagine they download the file into "C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Safe Browsing Download" like theyve done with the rest of their safe-browsing features for the last 5 years.

    But hey-- why be informed when you can complain about issues that dont exist?
