Google Releases Chrome 59 (venturebeat.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Google has launched Chrome 59 for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Among the additions are native notifications on macOS, settings being revamped to follow Material Design, the Image Capture API, Headless Chrome, and more service worker improvements. You can update to the latest version now using the browser's built-in silent updater or download it directly from google.com/chrome.
We have been developing a web application for the last two years and I have become more familiar with Chrome than I ever had intended. There has been frustration from time to time (lots of crashes in a "stable" version last summer, a change in performance profiling that made life difficult for a while), but all in all I must say that Chrome is an amazing piece of software. I have not seen a crash in a while (and we are doing some wild stuff, believe me) and with every new release Javascript on Chrome just feels a little bit faster. Before I get too sentimental I just want to say "Thank You" to rhe Chrome and Chromium team.
And I really hope and pray that in one of the next releases we will see SVG Font support. That would be awesome.

More power to you for making a buck on this type of thing, but I am betting you get a lot of hate messages about this.
