Chrome 42 Launches With Push Notifications

Posted by Soulskill on from the douglas-adams-edition dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Google today launched Chrome 42 for Windows, Mac, and Linux with new developer tools. Chrome 42 offers two new APIs (Push API and Notifications API) that together allow sites to send notifications to their users even after the given page is closed. While this can be quite an intrusive feature for a browser, Google promises the users have to first grant explicit permission before they receive such a message.

  1. Grats, Google, you've violated Cdn Constitution by WillAffleckUW · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Nobody cares about your excuses.

    And all the Canadians in the US will be suing you. There's an International Data Treaty the US and Canada signed that says they still have their rights.

    Congrats!

    Perhaps you should think a bit before replying such things. The web is certainly the most complex engineering project ever made by the human kind. You obviously have no idea of its complexity and the algorithms that makes it running day after day. It is not because you can use it for futile purposes it isn't the greatest thing yet built by the human kind.
