Google has released a new version of its Chrome Internet browser which lets users permanently mute websites that auto-play videos.
« Available on Windows, Mac and Linux, the new version — Chrome 64 lets you permanently mute websites that auto-play videos, » The Independent reported late on 26 January.
Users need to click the « View Site Information » symbol on the left-hand edge of the « omnibar » or the address bar combined with the Google search box, to mute a site that automatically plays videos.
This, however, replaces the previous « mute tab » feature that was only temporary.
The search engine giant is also adding High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging support to Chrome 64 browser for Windows users.
The feature will require a PC with the Fall Creators Update, a HDR-compatible monitor and graphics card.
The latest version of Chrome also protects Mac and Windows device users against the « Meltdown » and « Spectre » processor vulnerabilities, according to The Verge .
