What's new in Chrome Beta 46?
According to Google Chrome Blog, Chrome 46 beta release includes new CSS animation features, improved performance controls and stability, and a large number of API tweaks. Here are highlights of changes in Chrome 46 beta:

Animating objects along author specified paths
Developers can now animate any graphical object along an arbitrary path declaratively as a CSS property, allowing simpler code that doesn’t block rendering or input.

Optimized image loading and service worker instrumentation
Developers can now negotiate with the server to download the best image variant for a device using straightforward HTTP request headers. These headers communicate DPR, Viewport-Width, and the intended display width of the resource being fetched to the server.

In addition to improving image loading, developers can now instrument service workers to gather detailed fetch and script timing. Developers can also measure the startup time of service workers more accurately.
