Chrome 32, which is currently still in beta condition, indicates which websites make the sound, so that users more quickly recognize where, for example, suddenly, the music comes from. The same thing happens as tabs to a Chromecast will be streamed or if they are using the webcam.
The use of the speakers, webcam or Chromecast is indicated with a small icon, which, unlike the favicon on the right side of the tab is displayed. It is a frequent complaint of browsergebruikers that a tab suddenly sound trying to make, and then must be chosen to which tab exactly. For that reason the functionality was introduced, according to Google.
The functionality is present in Chrome 32, where it is now a beta-version of to download. That version also blocks automatically malwaredownloads, as Google previously announced. The blocking of downloads, Google uses a database of dangerous urls, which have been used for blocking potentially dangerous websites.
Further, it is in the new interface of Windows 8, formerly known as the Metro-mode, now possible to have multiple Chrome windows open, and there is a built-in ‘app launcher’, which lets web apps open more quickly. That interface is already present on the Chromebook.
