it's the safest and most stable version.
i still have no idea why people still use Dev.
i mean there is a newer version of the program but you intentionally choose to use an older version.
if these problems occurred in Canary build, it would have been solved in less than 24 hours.
I'm assuming that once everything for stable is done in canary and they start experimenting with stuff that might never make it to stable is when canary becomes incredibly unstable like chrome canary is.
Yeah. Google Chrome Canary has been around since 2011 on PC/MAC. About 2016 on Android/IOS. I was using it up into this month on PC (still have it on Android), but discontinued since I wrote a bat file that allows me to run Chromium with an auto-updater a few times a day. Auto-updater was made by Hristo Bogdanov over at https://chromium.woolyss.com/#updater
Chromium is sort of where it starts and then branches down into Canary each night for Google. I'm not sure how Edge works with that. Anyhow, only on occasion was Canary unstable on Chrome. Usually if they were testing something major like a new feature or bug report testing. It's basically new minor features or revisions or bug testing. I don't even want to say once in a blue moon it crashed, and the few times it did it was corrected by next day's build release (or a revised same day released). I'm going to assume Edge Canary will be the same if they keep it going as seems like with Chrome to be an ongoing project or tree branch flow.Chrome Canary when released every night posts what they worked on that day's build from Chromium under "change log" of your OS's of Google Chrome Canary (or Dev, Beta). I'm not sure if Edge will do the same. Here it is: https://omahaproxy.appspot.com/
- I think Microsoft Edge Canary is different and more stable than Chrome canary. they rarely release new builds every nigh, usually takes 2 or 3 days, i think they do some bug fixing during that time.
Yeah, and I think Edge manually uploads and updates Canary too. I think...not sure though whereas Chrome Canary is done by a bot each night (including weekends and holidays)
"Canary receives updates daily from a bot that automatically compiles and sends the latest structure of the source tree (Chromium). This process isn't overlooked by a human, which is enough reason to explain why it's the most unstable Chrome channel."
In other words, each night a Google bot updates their Canary up from Chromium (auto adding the rest of the Google stuff) usually from the most stable revisions of that days' Chromium build, in which case Chromium also moves up one build on the scale.
- I don't think so. maybe Microsoft's Canary version is gonna be stable like this. it's been like this for months now.
Google chrome canary is Not incredibly unstable. i've bee using it for a long time too as my main browser.
