Dev Channel: Early Access to Features and Fixes
Google Chrome publishes new releases to the Dev channel frequently. The Dev channel gives the community access to upcoming features, features in development, and the latest bug fixes. We can use feedback from Dev channel users to improve and iterate on feature ideas, and make sure that the latest features work properly before we release them to a wider audience.

The Dev channel is useful for:

Web developers who want to test their sites or scripts with pre-release versions of Google Chrome
Testers who need to make sure they're working with the latest bug fixes
Anyone who wants to help make Google Chrome better -- your feedback helps us turn good new features into great features, and using the Dev channel is a simple way for anyone to help.

Note: Dev channel releases are less stable than Beta channel releases. Expect the occasional "sad tab" or even browser crashes (if you turn on 'Help make Google Chrome better..' in Options, we'll get the crash reports so we can fix the bugs).
