How Chrome Releases New Features
Canary is the early-release version of Google Chrome.
Google releases its features in four stages it calls release channels. The channels are Canary, Dev, Beta, and Stable. Chrome Canary, Beta, and Dev can install side-by-side on Android, Mac, Windows, and Linux.
Chrome engineers test new features on real users to see if they run into any issues before releasing the feature to the next channel.
