You might have seen these various chrome releases on play store and wondering what exactly is the difference between these releases. Well, in this article you will find out. So without any further ado, let's clear the confusion.

• Stable release

When installing Google Chrome for the first time, everyone uses the Stable channel. Once features and fixes have been thoroughly tested in the Beta channel, they are uploaded to the Stable channel. The Stable channel is for you if you want a dependable browser but don't require the most recent features.

• Beta release

Subscribers to the Beta channel enjoy using and contributing to the improvement of the newest features. Chrome moves complete and stable features from the Dev channel to the Beta channel about once every month. Beta is more reliable than Dev, although it might not have the polished appearance that one would expect from a finished product. You must use this channel or the Dev channel if you're building extensions.

• Dev release

Here on the developer preview channel, concepts are tested (and sometimes fail). The Dev channel can occasionally be quite unreliable, and new features typically need to be manually configured to be enabled. However, adopting Dev channel releases provides a simple (very low-effort) approach for anyone to contribute to the improvement of Google Chrome.

• Canary release

Tho I didn't feel like talking about Canary : ) but it's not bad to do so. Canary is majorly designed for developers and early adopters. It is a raw and unfinished browser compared to its Dev, Beta, and Stable cousins. As a result, the browsing experience in Canary could be a bit bumpy compared to what you're used to in a typical web browser. Bugs could crop up, features you like could suddenly disappear without warning, and the browser itself could bomb out on you unexpectedly : )
