How to get newest of the new Chrome features

Canary build of google Chrome Installed the latest version of Google Chrome? Well, that may not be the latest version of Chrome and the reason is that there are another three more versions of Chrome. Google Chrome has multiple versions which are available for download. When you download the latest version, by default it will be the stable version and you get the new Chrome features. But if you are a developer then you can download the developer version, you can even try the beta version which will have some of the features of next stable release. The developer version and beta version when installed will be installed over the stable version. So, if you have installed beta or developer version then you cannot work on the stable version in parallel.


There is another version called Canary and this version will have the newest of the new Chrome features and is the least stable. Hence, Canary version is not installed over other version. It will be installed and will run in parallel to another Chrome channel you have installed and will not even use the same profile. The beta version is usually one version higher than the stable version where as the Canary version is one version higher than beta version or two versions higher than the stable version. Using Canary version of Chrome will give you an idea of what to expect from the next versions of Chrome and some of the latest features, but can also crash any time.


Four different versions of Chrome are available for Windows and Mac. Linux has just the stable version for now and Android has stable and beta versions. There are many other versions available. Give it a try and let me know what new chrome features did you find today in the latest version. Check out the download link for different versions: [Link]
