Chrome for Desktop Rolling Out With Full HTML5 Support
The Chrome team has started rolling out a new major build of the browser for Windows, Mac and Linux. Chrome build 56.0.2924.76 has a long list of security fixes and enhancements but also has an impressive list of new features along with it. In all there are 21 specific issues addressed in the release notes, 7 of which were considered high priority. As is the usual case, Google hasn’t released all the details of what was addressed. They will do that after a majority of users have upgraded to the new build.
In this build, full HTML5 is supported which means the end of Adobe Flash plug-in for everyone. You should get a prompt when you first open up the browser about Flash and the idea here is to make it a better browsing experience for everyone. And safer.
