Any know anything about the new "Chrome Notification" icon that is now appearing in my system tray? Only appears when I start and using Chrome? I would like to know if you can disable it.

Currently running 27.0.1438.7 dev-m.

Yes, I am also getting it, I will look into commandlines and flags, to disable it.

I love Chrome, but if they are going to start integrating everything into it then I may start trying other browsers out. I just want a minimilist browser that is fast and does it's primary function nothing much than that anyway lol

Thanks for finding out Zlip, much appreciated. I'm okay with for now just sitting in my system tray and I hardly notice it, but let's hope it doesn't get annoying...

Ok so here's the deal: Google Now is coming to Windows via Chrome. We all know that. In fact it's already in Chrome 27 so if any of you have canary builds you might want to look out for in the about://flags . What I don't get is this:

Is Google Now on Chrome supposed to be just an extension for Now on Android? Are you just supposed to get the same notifications on both systems? And will Now on Chrome not work unless you have an Android device?

Or is it to be a standalone version of the service serving up specific notifications related to your account? Meaning it would aggregate the info it takes from your handset with the info it takes from your desktop. And in this case wouldn't it work even in the absence of an Android handset?

Thanks for clearing this up for me. I look forward to your answers

Is there directwrite yet?

Nope, Chrome is using Skia to hardware accelerate its fonts and provide smoothening with OpenGL as backend.

This is all Chromium 28 provide in name of Hardware acceleration:

First commit in Chromium mentioned Blink, red by me:

Differentiate blink from webkit. ios project will continue to pull webkit headers. Everyone else gets blink. R=cmp@chromium.org BUG= Review URL: https://codereview.chromium.org/13603005

Chrome 28 is now on the dev channel. Going by the SVN revision log it does come with Blink enabled (scroll down to the very bottom).

Small UI bug which triggers my OCD: Tab titles and favicons aren't centred.

It'll be fixed in upcoming version, I also faced this in Chromium snapshot but my current using one does not have this bug.

I'm getting the same bug over here, just after updating to Version 28 :(

The white context menus landed on the stable channel. I don't like them. Here is a way to go back to native menus:

Ugh, those look awful.

I too find those large white menus hideous and I've already applied the tweak.
