Google aiming to integrate Chromecast support right into Chrome

Google wants to make streaming Chrome tabs to a Chromecast even easier. Right now, users need to install the Google Cast Chrome extension to send music, videos, and webpages to their television. A Google+ post from François Beaufort indicates the company is working on a way to build the feature into the browser itself, the Verge reports.

The change means you may soon be able to right click a page in Chrome and see the Cast option show up to send whatever's in your browser window to a nearby Chromecast-equipped TV.

Beaufort is Google's self-titled "happiness evangelist," and he was hired in 2013, when he was known for being a reputable leaker of Chrome news and updates. He now does so in an official capacity at Google.
