Chrome: new tab icons, browser-desktop

Chrome’s Windows 8 Chrome OS-lookalike gets a stable release | Ars Technica: "Chrome now has a trio of icons to help out. If a tab is making a noise, Chrome will put a little speaker in the tab itself. This gives instant, at-a-glance detection of noisy tabs. The other two icons are less important, but still useful. If one tab is accessing your webcam, it'll be adorned with a little red recording icon. A tab that's being cast to your TV with a Chromecast will show a little TV icon."



Chrome OS-like Metro mode browser... a Chrome "desktop." Along the bottom of the screen is a taskbar of sorts, used for launching Web apps of your choosing. Populating the main area of the screen are one or more browser windows.
