Minor knowledge of chrome versions

Abstract:

Recently, I saw a canary version of chrome on the Internet. The first time I saw this version, I learned about various versions of chrome. Chrome is the best tool for front-end development, it is not only its debugging tool, but also its compatibility with HTML5/css3. Next we will introduce various versions of chrome to let more people know about it.

Chromium:

Chromium is an open-source project launched by Google to develop chrome browsers. Chromium is equivalent to Chrome's engineering version or experimental version (although chrome also has beta version ), the new features will be implemented on chromium and will be applied to chrome only after verification. Therefore, Chrome's functions will be relatively backward but stable (in fact, the stability is similar ); chromium updates are fast, with new development versions available every few hours. The difference between it and chrome is as follows:

1. Installation mode: chromium is free of installation. You can download the zip package and decompress it. However, although chrome can theoretically be free of installation, Google only provides the installation version.
2. Automatic update of chromium does not enable the automatic update function. Therefore, you need to manually download the updates. Chrome can automatically connect to Google's server for updates, but the new version is very slow.
3. As mentioned above, new features will be first available on chromium, while chrome will be relatively lagging behind.

Chrome Dev:

Based on the latest chromium build, new features are often updated every week. It is similar to the beta version but has poor stability and is not suitable for public use.

Chrome BETA:

Based on chrome Dev, updated on a monthly basis, and major faults such as crashes rarely occur, providing better functions than Dev.

Chrome stable:

Chrome stable version. Based on the latest test version, known bugs are fixed, and functions are stable. They are updated on a quarterly basis. The stability is greatly improved and applicable to various environments. This is the most common

Chrome canary build (Canary version ):

Canary's high sensitivity to methane and carbon monoxide concentration in the air makes it the oldest Coal Mine Safety alarm. If the canary in the coal mine dies, the miner needs to evacuate the mine as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a fatal danger. Google wants to express this meaning, because the canary version is the fastest updated version except chromium, so it often adds some new features, however, I'm not sure whether these functions are really useful. Therefore, I chose canary edition, which is meant to be a try. If it is successful, it will be added to Dev, beta, and stable versions. If it looks so bad, it will be deleted.
