What the Virtual Viewport?

In Chrome M40 there is a change to the viewport that is pretty subtle, but should make a big difference to users.

When mobile browsers started out, the lack of a viewport meta tag meant they would make the web page think it had approximately 980px of screen real estate and render at this size. With a viewport meta tag, developers could define the width, most common of which is “device-width”, which sets the screen size to that of the device.
