What's new in Chrome Beta 47?
According to Google Chrome Blog, Chrome 47 beta release contains some cool new features as well as under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks. Here are highlights of changes in Chrome 47 beta:

Splash screens on Android
Chrome 47 Beta for Android brings splash screens to web apps when a site is launched from the Android home screen. The splash screen is shown immediately, even while Chrome itself is loading. Developers can customize the splash screen by setting a name, icon, background color, and notification bar color in the web app manifest. The splash screen disappears once the web app begins to draw to the screen, providing a more polished loading experience.

Cooperative multitasking with requestIdleCallback()
Chrome 47 Beta allows developers to set work to run during idle time using requestIdleCallback() explicitly. Functions registered with requestIdleCallback() are given a deadline and can return before that limit is reached to avoid jank. The function can register for another requestIdleCallback() to continue work during the next idle period.

Auto dismissing notifications
Chrome 47 Beta allows developers to configure automatic dismissal of desktop notifications, improving the experience for these kinds of notifications. Sites can set NotificationOptions.requireInteraction to indicate the notification should remain onscreen until the user dismisses it.

Note: A Google Chrome Beta release should be considered for evaluation and testing purposes.
