Google has released Chrome 66 to the stable channel and it has started to roll out as an update for users on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS. There are a number of welcome new features in this release of the popular browser, as well as the usual bug and security fixes.

In its writeup of the new software, VentureBeat highlights the way in which autoplaying content with sound is now blocked by default. Apparently this feature was originally due for mass consumption in January; nevertheless it is still a very welcome addition.
