Google Chrome 28.0.1500.29 Beta Now Available for Download

Google has released Chrome 28.0.1500.29 to the Beta channel for Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome Frame platforms. Chrome 28 Beta brings several new developer features and a major performance improvement.

What's new in Chrome 28 Beta?
Chrome 28 Beta contains a number of new improvements and updates, including:

Faster page loads
Starting in Chrome 28 Beta, your apps get a free speed boost from Blink’s new threaded HTML parser. It has two under-the-hood performance benefits:

1. Reduced jankiness by moving work off the main JavaScript thread
2. Improved page loading speed through pipelining.

Compared to the normal HTML parser, it loads DOM content about 10% faster and reduces the maximum stop time due to parsing by 40%.

Deprecated features
The prefixed version of the Content Security Policy HTTP header is now deprecated, so please use Content-Security-Policy instead of X-WebKit-CSP. The prefixed version will still work for now, but future releases may not support it.

Other developer features in this release

• You can now use CSS @supports conditional blocks to test whether Chromium supports certain property:value pairs.
• The :unresolved CSS pseudoclass lets you style a Custom Element that hasn’t been registered in the browser yet. Custom Elements are part of Web Components.
• As part of V8's continuing quest to make all JavaScript as fast as possible, recent optimizations have made the asm.js benchmarks more than twice as fast as prior versions of Chrome.
• Chrome Apps and Extensions developers can now use rich notifications to proactively engage with users.

Here are changes apply to Chrome 28 Beta for Android

Fullscreen API on Chrome for Android
The Fullscreen API on Chrome for Android allows you to programmatically hide the browser UI and OS status bar. Just like on desktop, you can tell any piece of content to enter fullscreen mode by calling its webkitRequestFullScreen() function. The prefixed version will eventually be replaced by requestFullscreen().

Experimental new media features in Chrome for Android
In Chrome 28 Beta, WebGL joins Web Audio and WebRTC as an option in about:flags in Chrome for Android. Used together or independently, these three features will allow you to create rich, powerful web experiences that work across device form factors.
