Google Chrome Canary Build
- Groxx 16y agoA slightly-more-frequent-dev-release Chrome which can be installed along-side a regular Chrome (stable/beta/dev). Neat. Windows-only for now, sadly. I wonder why "Canary", though...?
- balac 16y agoIt is probably referring to the coal mine canaries that would die before you did: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_Canary#Miner.27s_canary http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_Canary#Miner.27s_canar...
- csytan 16y agoCanaries were once used as an early warning system in coal mines since they had a much lower tolerance of toxic gases like carbon monoxide. A dead canary meant to "get the hell out" as soon as possible.

- drivebyacct2 16y agoWhat is the current stability state of extension syncing? And is anyone working on a third party or self hosted sync platform? I don't really want or need my extension data or private bookmarks stored on Google's servers.
- Timmy_C 16y agoI like that they've broken away from the alpha/beta/RC/RTM naming conventions. Maybe this symbolizes a shift away from waterfall software development.
- Timmy_C 16y agoI don't know why this got down-voted. It's mere speculation. If you know something about Google's software development practices that I don't, please chime in.
- DotSauce 16y agoChrome developers needs to adopt something similar to Firefox's upcoming Tab Candy feature: http://www.dotsauce.com/2010/07/23/tab-candy-firefox/ http://www.dotsauce.com/2010/07/23/tab-candy-firefox/ The app tabs simply do not compare.
