Chrome Update for new Mac OS

Things begin to occupy ourselves in the world of chrome. Yesterday we saw the latest Chrome developer is now based Snow Leopard-ready. Today brings some interesting news.

It seems that Chrome is about to acquire a new feature called integrated desktop alerts. A paper was recently posted on the site design documents are developers of chromium. Basically, it seems that there is an API that allows a developer to display messages from small desktop area of a user. I guess this will be something like FriendFeed notifications, but runs on Adobe AIR, it runs entirely in WebKit.

It is interesting to integration, documentation notes for users of Mac OS, there will be those with Growl notifications. He says: "In Mac OS, notifications on the desktop icon, title, text formatting will be sent to growl to show if installed Growl." On Linux, the notifications will be sent via dbus, apparently.

These notifications must be disabled by default for now, but can be activated through a command line switch. It is difficult to know exactly how they will be used only to read about them in these documents but this could be a feature of New Cool sites can potentially use - or pop-up ads 2.0.
