Google has released Google Chrome 27 to the beta channel for Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome Frame platforms. Chrome 27 Beta contains a number of improvements and updates. This build also includes a few new features for web developers.

What's new in Google Chrome 27 Beta?
Chrome 27 Beta contains a number of new improvements, including:

Faster page loads:
Web content now appears on screen 5% faster (on average) due to changes in Chrome’s resource scheduler.

Elegant HTML5 date and time <input> forms:
The month, week, and date <input> types now feature a simple, elegant user interface on desktop versions of Chrome

Live audio input to Web Audio API:
Chrome 27 Beta allows you to use live audio as input to the Web Audio API for extremely low-latency local audio manipulation and playback.

Sync FileSystem API for Chrome Apps:
The Sync FileSystem API is a new offline storage API for Chrome Packaged Apps which automatically synchronizes stored data across clients via Google Drive.

DevTools updates:
Dock-to-right supports vertical split view, and you can now right-click resources in the Network tab to "Copy as cURL". The network panel has been improved as well.

And lots of other features for developers:
  • Unprefixed support for the allowfullscreen attribute for <iframe> allows embedded video players like the YouTube’s to go fullscreen.
  • The User-Agent field is now sent in WebSocket opening handshake headers.
  • The ch CSS unit can be used to match the width and spacing of the "0"-glyph in the current font.
