17 Sep 08 Chrome Tips - Chrome Channel Switcher allows you to switch between Chrome beta and dev versions!

You can now download the Chrome Channel Switcher, which allows you to switch between the “beta” Chrome and “Dev” Chrome.  The Beta Chrome are the stable releases whereas the Dev Chrome is updated as soon as a bug or security flaw is fixed.

This will help you to try out the latest fixes and features using the “Dev” mode.

Here’s how to do it from the Chromium Dev site:

Subscribing to the Dev channel

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.
