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.

    The web is far from the most complex device ever built by humans. It's no more a single engineering project than the old landline telephone system was. Heck, if you're just looking for replicating the same thing over and over as THE measure of complexity, look at any large city. The space shuttle was far more complex.

    Apparently you haven't read the W3C on HTML5 and CSS 3 specs :-)
