Background Audio Playback Included in Latest Google Chrome for Android Update

Recently, Google has updated Chrome for Android, and in addition to some tweaks and bug fixes such as a new version of the V8 JavaScript engine, the update also includes a cool new feature: background audio support. This allows audio to continue streaming from Chrome even if the user closes the app or switches to another one. This feature has been available on iOS products for a while now, but the addition of it to Android devices makes the app even more well-rounded. Currently, the update is available in the Google Play Store.
