Google Chrome has become the default platform option for the majority of users in past decade but to Google, Chrome aren’tjust a means of viewing Websites, it’s the connection to rapidly advancing tech tools, like gaming.
An updated beta version of Chrome called Beta 94 was recently launched by Google’s Chrome, an update that is availed with advanced web standards that has the capacity to transform the browser-based gaming itinerary.
Encoding and decoding audio and video, gaming will become easier and faster through utilizing Web Codecs, a flexible web API. WebCodecs will work on avoiding overhead, polishing up the income video stream onto your screen in a speedy manner since Chrome isn’t necessarily designed for high-quality video gaming.
However, the experimental WebGPU will reportedly ensure an easier process to use the computer’s power while the games are on in the browser. Consequently, gaming developers won’t have to worry about producing graphically intense games that run using the browser, as WebGPU has given the impetus for web developers to speak the same language as the device graphics card.
Google had in July 2020 noted that Zoom was potentially seeking to use WebCodecs to upgrade the quality of its video conferencing, a proof that these technologies are also present outside the gaming field.
Till now, the Chrome Beta 94 is available for download; however it remains in the testing phase. Therefore, it’s still unclear when the new gaming updates will roll out and launch in full force.
However, other updates that can be currently utilised are performing actions through typing them in search bar. For example, if you type “manage settings,” the system will perform the action for you, eliminating the hurdle of going through the settings options and performing the actions step-by-step.
A safe and protected space will also be ensure by Google’s Chrome, as “Site Isolation will now cover a broader range of sites, as well as extensions, and all of this comes with tweaks that improve Chrome’s speed,” the giant search engine noted in a blog post.
The way users view the search engine will completely change by the Chrome 94. A new feel will be experienced now, causing a new identity to emerge from Chrome, after years of using the traditional browser that has been well-loved by generations.
