The Chrome browser will have a new ‘Cast’ feature in the drop-down menu in Chrome 51, which is currently in beta.
As you can with the extension, Cast simply lets you cast your browser tab onto a TV or other Cast-enabled monitor. While the extension may no longer be needed, it’ll continue to work — and may be a more streamlined option if you cast often.
Interestingly, Google has also offloaded things like streaming rate and screen resolution to boilerplate functions. Instead of manicuring a good stream, you’ll soon just be streaming while Google Cast does the heavy lifting.
Cast will also be found in Chrome OS.

Chrome 51 is the stable release, but not all users are seeing the new Cast option in the drop-down menu. If you don’t find Cast as an option, give it time — Google tends to roll things out incrementally, stable or not.
Hangouts is also hit-and-miss on availability, but listed as an option for Chrome 52.
