Chrome finds which tab makes noise

Google has announced that the new version of Chrome 23 browser brings several interesting improvements, among which is the ability to find tabs where some sound is played.

It often happens that we open over 20 tabs and we don't know where the sound is heard from. Then we search in order and in the end we can't find it because the player is somewhere at the bottom of the page, so we can't easily notice it.

But Chrome will now display a small icon in the taboo if you hear a sound from it. But in addition, it will show for webcam and TV casting.

Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential.
