Google Chrome 50.0.2661.75

On April 13, 2016, Google released a new version of the Google Chrome browser. Google Chrome 50 runs on all major operating systems: Windows 10, Windows 7, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. Support for Windows XP, Vista, Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 is discontinued. Also, Chrome 50 has fixed 20 security issues.

What’s new in version 50

The average user won’t care about what’s new in Chrome 50 because most of it introduces new API features or changes to the browser internals. If you’re not a developer, you might not notice the changes or new features at all. The main ones are:

• Location services (Geolocation API) are now only available for secure connections (if the site is open over HTTPS).
• Improvements to Push notifications whereby the site can initiate a system notification on the user’s screen.
• The HTMLMediaElement.play() function now returns a Promise object, making it easier to respond to automatic playback failure.
• Added tools to the FormData object, which allows you to programmatically generate data for web forms, to inspect and change data in web forms.

Provided the ability to control the buffering of audio and video streams using the SourceBuffer.mode attribute and the ‘sequence’ option.
