Chrome Will Be the First to Support HTML5 Seamless Iframes

Google Chrome is always evolving and new features trickle down the development chain until they reach the over 200 million users threshold. The six weeks release schedule means that new features are always landing, but if you really want to be on the bleeding edge, you need to be using the Chromium builds.

That's where the latest and greatest additions are made and it's where you'll see them first. In the past week, Chrome/Chromium has gotten quite a few improvements.

One interesting addition is support for the seamless iframes, which is mostly complete now that the layout code has been merged. Seamless iframes are an HTML5 addition, not currently supported by any browser, which enable web developers to integrate iframes, well, seamlessly into pages, without any borders, scroll bars and so on.

While iframes were heavily frowned upon only a few years back, and for good reason, they're making a comeback now that the web is more intertwined than ever.
