These are the six different browsers and release channels Google has.

-



Google Chrome is a browser that is preinstalled on almost every Android smartphone, used by billions of people around the world, from computers to smartphones, and Google needs to ensure the quality, functionality, and stability of the Chrome browser for giving the users a well-polished, fully tested, robust, and stable browser for a stable user experience of the browser.

 

This is the reason for Google to test Chrome very rigorously in many stages, from the flawed one to the most stable, polished one. 

That's why Google releases Chrome release channels. 

 

So, the Google Chrome browser comes up with 5 different varieties that are called release channels. 

  • Chrome Stable 
  • Chrome Extended Stable
  • Chrome Beta
  • Chrome Dev 
  • Chrome Canary

Google uses these channels to slowly test new features and roll out the latest updates, from the close-to-daily-updated Chrome Canary to the Chrome stable, which is updated majorly every 4 weeks.

 

  • Chrome stable

Chrome stable is simply called ‘Chrome,’ and this is used by most of the users. All of the features and functions are fully, rigorously tested and polished. Chrome stable is considered to be used as default and by everyone.

Updated every 2-3 weeks for minor updates and updated every 4 weeks for major updates.

 

  • Chrome Extended Stable

Some of the users use this channel. In this channel, users get security fixes but are updated less frequently. This is the channel for anyone who wants a slower update sequence or wants to update manually if preferred.

This channel is updated every 8 weeks.

 

  • Chrome Beta

5 percent of users are on the Chrome beta channel.

This channel is checked and tested much more carefully with solidity closer to Chrome stable.

Users get a preview of what's coming to the stable version every 4-6 weeks.

In this channel, the user can simply know if an issue occurred before it is rolled out to all the others.

The Chrome beta channel is updated once a week, along with major updates every four weeks.

 

  • Chrome Dev

 Anyone using Chrome Dev can have an idea of what features and functionalities Google is testing for Chrome Stable. Tested more than Canary, but still anyone can find bugs and glitches. 

Chrome Dev updated once or twice a week.

 

  • Chrome Canary

This is the most experimental Chrome channel, the Chrome Canary, with minimal testing and has every new feature. This channel helps Google to test new features with real users before it becomes an issue. It is the channel that can have bugs, or it might even crash completely, but the good thing is that as it is updated every day, the bug fixes can be updated every day. This is the channel by which Google tests every new feature with real users, and people can give feedback on any issue. In this way, it is very useful for Google, and many features do not make it to Chrome stable.

Chrome Canary is updated every day.


What's Chromium?

  • Chromium

Chromium was initially released in 2008 as a free and open-source web browser project, mainly developed and maintained by Google. Its codebase is used extensively and is responsible for providing most of the code for Google Chrome and many other browsers, such as Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Samsung Internet.
