Channel: Chrome for Developers
Date: 2015-12-01

Chrome 47 automatically generates a splash screen for apps launched from the home screen on Android; you can defer script execution until idle with requestIdleCallback and push notifications will now automatically dismiss on desktop. Pete LePage has all the details and how you can use these new developer features in Chrome 47!
