How to switch between beta and dev versions in Google chrome?
Google chrome browser users are not all the normal web surfers but some are the programmers who would like to check the advancements that are being done in the browser. So anyone can just change from beta version to developer version or vice versa if you wish. Also the dev channel is helpful for Web developers who want to test their sites or scripts with pre-release versions of Google Chrome
For that, you need to have to subscribe to Dev channel of chrome. Here is how you can do that, as said by the Chromium code team -
1. Download and run the Google Chrome Channel Chooser (http://chromium.googlecode.com/files/chromechannel-1.0.exe).
2. Click the circle next to Dev.
3. Click Update to save your choice.
4. Click Close.
5. In Google Chrome, click the wrench menu and choose About Google Chrome.
Note: On Windows Vista, updates from the About box require Service Pack 1. With 0.2.149.29 (the current release), on demand updates do not work in Vista SP1 if User Account Control is disabled.
6. Click Update Now to install the current Dev channel release.
7. Restart Google Chrome.
