Chromium Google Evergreen – Info from Google I/O
Air Date: May 9, 2019
This week we cover information coming out of Google’s annual developer conference, Google I/O. The biggest announcement is Googlebot is now rendering for Google’s new browser Chromium which means it can detect and deal with most incidents of JavaScript.
That means Googlebot is once again considered “evergreen” in that it is capable of constantly updating Google’s index live-time rather than waiting minutes or hours after encountering a site, page or other web object. Chromium brings dozens of other new features to Googlebot’s crawling, rendering, and reporting abilities.
