If you’re lucky, the next Google Chrome update may arrive sooner than you anticipate

Thanks to a new programme, certain users may have access to future versions of Google Chrome before they’re officially released.

Currently, the browser is being released in a “early stable” form to a small group of users before being released to the general public in the near future.

The first version of Google Chrome to follow this timetable will be version110, which will debut in beta on January12,2023, then in “early stable” form on February1, and finally, in its final form, on February 7.

Google technical writer and content lead for the Chrome Developers site Rachel Andrew wrote a blog post explaining the decision, noting that the move will allow the business to catch problems with new Chrome versions before releasing them to the general public.

“Stable can be released to a subset of users in advance so that we can track its performance before releasing it to the general public. “For most developers, this modification will have minimal impact,” she added, “but if any showstopping issue is detected, it may be corrected while the impact is quite modest.” “.

Google hasn’t said for sure who would be the privileged early adopters, although it’s presumably the same people who get Canary channel updates first now.

Recent weeks have seen a number of notable updates to Google Chrome as the firm works to maintain the browser’s usefulness.

Among these is a new Memory Saver mode, which, according to the manufacturer, will make the currently active tab easier to navigate by freeing up memory occupied by other, idle browser tabs.

When the battery life of a device drops below 20%, the new Energy Saver mode kicks in to reduce the amount of background activity and visual effects, such as animations and movies, to help get the most out of the remaining time.

The business has also collaborated with archrivals Apple and Mozilla to enhance a web browser benchmark tool called Speedometer3, which is used to gauge responsiveness by simulating user interactions with demonstration online apps.
