Google Chrome developers launch new iframe replacement tech.

https://zdnet2.cbsistatic.comAt the I/O 2019 developer conference yesterday, Google launched a new technology called Portals that aims to provide a new way of loading and navigating through web pages.

According to Google, Portals will work with the help of a new HTML tag named < portal >. This tag works similarly to classic < iframe > tags, allowing web developers to embed remote content in their pages.

The difference between a portal and an iframe tag is that Google's new Portals technology is an upgrade over iframes.

Google says portals allow users to navigate inside the content they are embedding—something that iframes do not allow for security reasons.

Furthermore, portals can also overwrite the main URL address bar, meaning they are useful as a navigation system, and more than embedding content—the most common way in which iframes are used today.
