The developer-facing notification will now be triggered for global signals such as interaction with other apps instead of only the current browser window. However, it is certainly more controversial due to the introduction of support for an idle detection API.Ĭhrome 94 will offer more signals to developers to understand when a user is idle. Since Google is shifting to a four-week release cycle instead of its previous six-week cadence, and the fact that this build comes just three weeks after Chrome 93, the feature-set this time around is relatively smaller. Today, Chrome 94 will be released to the general public.
With the new update schedule, many improvements will come much faster to all users.Chrome 93 rolled out to the Stable channel last month with support for WebOTP on desktop, and deprecation of the 3DES cipher suite in Transport Layer Security (TLS). As for Chrome 89, it has a new Profile Manager, Reading List, and Tab Preview. Besides, Chrome now uses significantly less memory on all supported platforms. It also brought vertical tabs and other UI improvements to all users in the Stable Channel. Edge 89 improves startup time and reduces resource footprint with the Startup Boost and Sleeping Tabs features. The company says Edge will be switching to a four-week update cadence starting with Edge 94, which is due to release in September 2021.īoth Microsoft and Google recently shipped major updates to their browsers. Similar to Google Chrome, Microsoft will apply the updated scheduling changes in the second half of 2021. It is worth mentioning that the new update policies are not immediate. IT Admins will have to manually switch to the new Extended Stable channel to receive updates every eight weeks instead of four. Microsoft says a new update cadence is an “opt-out” experience, which means it will be default for all consumers and businesses. According to Microsoft, this will ensure a constant flow of new features, managing policies, and bug fixes from the stable channel with a more “manageable pace.” At the same time, the Extended Stable channel will be getting minor updates with the most critical bug fixes and security updates every two weeks. Unlike the regular stable, the extended stable update channel will offer major updates every eight weeks instead of four. Advertisement The Extended Stable channel
