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. [email protected] BUG= Review URL: https://codereview.chromium.org/13603005

http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/Win/192219/changelog.xml

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.

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

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
