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.

    I use SeaMonkey which is the descendent of the old Mozilla suite.
    Its got all the same web engine stuff as Firefox does but it doesn't have the crappy UI or some of the other "unwanted" crap from Firefox.
