Chrome Development/Release Channels

Google releases a new version of Chrome every few weeks, depending on its development stage. Chrome has four release channels: Canary, Dev, Beta, and Stable.

Chrome Canary Channel

This channel is the front-runner in Google Chrome’s development phase. Google calls it the “bleeding edge” build of Chrome. Canary builds are in development, and new versions are released daily.

Chrome’s Canary channel is the first place where Google tests new features before they’re released to the general public. If a new Chrome feature is in development, Google tests it out on the Canary channel first to see how people respond and whether it works as intended. ..

Chrome’s Canary channel is the most unstable build of the browser. You can run Chrome’s Canary build alongside the stable version on your device. However, we don’t recommend installing Chrome Canary unless you’re asked to—especially on your primary computer. ..

Chrome Dev Channel

Google updates the Dev channel on a weekly basis. Developers often use this build to get a preview of new features coming to Chrome. ..

The Dev channel is more stable than the Canary channel. Google resolves issues with features in the Dev channel before marking them as “stable.”

Chrome Beta Channel

If you want to test-run new features in Chrome before they’re released to the Stable version of Chrome, you can do so by using the Beta channel. Google updates the Beta channel roughly every week, fixing issues or bugs reported by Beta users/testers.

Stable Channel

Chrome’s Stable build is the version you’ll find on the Chrome website, Google Play Store, and Apple App Store. The Stable channel is also called the “Official Build.” The Chrome team has thoroughly tested this channel, and you should have little to no issue using the browser.
