Change Google Chrome's update channel.
The Internet browser by Google follows
three parallel developments processes. On one hand we will find the
stable versions, that are slowly updated with improvements and innovations that are quickly tested and checked so that they don't affect the systems stability. These are the versions that we will obtain if we visit the official Chrome site or the Malavida.com
download section.
After this we have the
betas,
that include many improvements, but don't guarantee stability and security, so it is only advisable to use them to perform tests, even though a lot of people prefer to sacrifice some of the application's stability in exchange to enjoy more innovations.
And finally we can find the
versions for developers, that are very unstable, that include all kinds of innovating features and improvements, many of which aren't even included in the final versions of the application.
Google Chrome Channel Chooser is a small utility launched by Google
that allows us to choose the development channel that we want for our browser, regardless of the version that we have installed. Thus, if we have a stable version and we choose “beta channel”, when a new beta is launched our browser will automatically update to it. And viceversa, if we decide that we need a stable version instead of the beta or dev., all we have to do is choose that option.
A simple and small tool with which we will be able to “play” with the
different versions of Google Chrome.
