Desktop Chrome recently shows which tab is playing audio or video. Thus, the user easier to navigate a large number of open web pages. However, Google decided to make life easier for users.
When you run a new tab, which is playing video, the playback is automatically paused. Such a feature browser Google users found the test build.
For example, if a person decided to watch videos on YouTube and activated a separate tab with the player, the playback and the sound will be interrupted and will continue automatically only after the person activates the tab. After the user has left her, playback of content will continue further.
According to the developers, this is done so that the video and audio does not turn on automatically when restoring sessions, as well as to “preclude premature playback of digital content”. The function will appear in the public version of Chrome 46.
This release of Chrome, among other things, will bring a lot of optimizations and improvements aimed at increasing productivity browser on the Mac. The program will be extremely sparingly to computer resources: the browser no longer sets a high priority for background tabs after they are not used for a certain time. Thus render the background tabs will be given a lower priority, reducing the frequency of their “awakening”. Google has also reduced the CPU usage by reducing the frequency of requests the browser to it.
Release Chrome 46 for desktop platforms is expected soon.
