Wanna Get the Chrome beta?

Have you been wondering why, of all the Google products labeled "Labs" and "Beta," why Google Chrome doesn't have a beta? Well, they do. They use a channel changer to switch between three "branches" of Google Chrome's development.

You can "subscribe" to the stable release, the beta release, or the dev release (dev is short for developer). The stable release usually sees quarterly updates (According to Google), the beta release sees monthly updates and the Dev release sees weekly updates.

I would recommend the beta branch to pretty much anybody as its a good way to use and test new features. If you understand/recognize the following info, then the dev branch is for you:

  • You understand the difference between server side and client side scripting
  • You regularly write snippets of code
  • You scoff at people who call HTML "coding"
  • The warning you get when trying to terminate a process from the Task Manager doesn't scare you in the slightest.
Anyway, here is a direct download link to the Chrome channel changer, which let you "tap" into the beta, stable, or dev version of Chrome. Enjoy!

    I really enjoy reading your technical posts. Even though I don't always understand everything, I still find it quite interesting and I like being on the cutting edge of things.

      My name is Adam. I have been blogging sporadically since 2005 and have always enjoyed the connectedness of it. I'm preparing to serve a full time, 2 year mission for my Church. I work at a Real Estate company as a catch-all IT guy. I love watching movies, I don't read a ton of books but when I start one I can't put it down until I finish. More to come!
