Today Google announced on The Chromium Blog the introduction of a new experimental and version of Google Chrome called Google Chrome Canary Build. The main goal is to update the Canary Build more often than the Dev Channel. However, this means that the Google Chrome Canary Build will be highly unstable, considering that updates will be more radical and not manually tested by Google engineers. Google warns that the “Canary Build is only for users who want to help test Google Chrome and are comfortable using a highly unstable browser that will often break entirely.”
Those brave enough to test the new Google Chrome Canary Build will still be able to use any of the additional Google Chrome versions [Dev, Beta, or Stable]. The Canary Build cannot be set as a default browser for obvious reasons. Also, the Canary Build is currently available for Windows only.
Do take into account that the Canary Build is for testing purposes only. The browser is expected to crash often and even stop working completely from time to time. Google expect users to submit feedback and report “crashes, performance regressions, broken features and other problems.”
Let us know whether or not your are planning to test the new Google Chrome Canary Build, and tell us your experience with it.
