   Longer battery life and easier website permissions

   http://chrome.blogspot.com/2012/11/longer-battery-life-and-easier-website.html

   A wise person once said, “Modern life is a constant search... for a power outlet.” With today’s new Chrome Stable release, we hope you can begin looking for more meaningful things.

   We recently enabled GPU-accelerated video decoding for Chrome on Windows. Dedicated graphics chips draw far less power than a computer's CPU, so using GPU-accelerated video decoding while watching videos can increase battery life significantly.

   In our tests [1], the battery lasted 25% longer when GPU-accelerated video decoding was enabled. Now Chrome users on Windows will experience longer battery life so they don’t get cut off while watching their favorite YouTube video on repeat.

   This latest release also includes an option to send a “do not track” request to websites and web services. The effectiveness of such requests is dependent on how websites and services respond, so Google is working with others on a common way to respond to these requests in the future.

   Google Chrome 23 in finished form brings Do Not Track, graphics boosts for Windows users

   http://thenextweb.com/google/2012/11/06/google-releases-chrome-23-the-last-major-browser-finally-gets-do-not-track-support/

   Arguably the biggest addition in Chrome 23 is the support of the Do Not Track (DNT) protocol. Microsoft was the first to announce support for the DNT mechanism in Internet Explorer 9, followed by Mozilla’s Firefox, Apple’s Safari, and Opera. Microsoft is still pushing forward on DNT support, as it is the first to enable the option by default in IE10, while Chrome 23 only now has an option to enable it. Nevertheless, Google giving the green light for DNT in Chrome means all five major browsers now support the standard.

   This latest release also includes an option to send a “do not track” request to websites and web services.

   I not get Google Chrome but get Chrome you can pick from 3

   Do Not Track is not turned on by default in Chrome 23; users can enable DNT by selecting Settings ➤ Show advanced settings and checking the box next to "Send a ‘Do Not Track’ request with your browsing traffic".
