After getting requests from users, Google has added a flag to Chrome 47 that disables deferring of media playback in background tabs, that means, all background tabs will play music automatically like before v47 with the enable of this flag. You need to turn on this flag for that:Disable gesture requirement for media playback.

Simplify Page Print option: Chrome team has added ‘simplify page‘ option to Print dialog, this appears during the print Preview, which on selection and running generates a new Print PDF using open-source project Dom Distiller. PDF created this way will be free of or won’t contain ads, navigation elements and other elements.

HTML5 video context menu simplified: Prior to v47, when you right click on an HTML5 video, you’ll notice these items: Pause, Mute, Loop, Show Controls along with other options.
