What's new in Chrome 51?
According to Google Chrome Blog, Chrome 51 release contains cool new features as well as under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks. Here are highlights of changes in Chrome 51:
Credential Management API
Chrome 51 supports the Credential Management API, allowing sites to interact with the browser’s credential manager to improve the login experience for users. The API enables users to sign in with one tap and lets them automatically sign back in when returning to the site.
Reducing the overhead of offscreen rendering
Chrome 51 no longer runs the rendering pipeline or requestAnimationFrame() callbacks for cross-origin frames that are offscreen. This eliminates unnecessary work and reduces power consumption by up to 30% on several popular mobile sites without affecting the user experience.
