Google Chrome Canary is available for Mac

INTERNET AND SOFTWARE GIANT Google has made its Chrome Canary web browser available for Mac users.

Early adopters of Chrome on Mac are now able to download Google's most frequently updated build of Chrome, named Chrome Canary Build. The Canary Build of Google's web browser gives users the chance to test the most up to date version and provide feedback on crashes and other issues to help development.

It is updated more often than the other release channels and can be installed in addition to the Dev, Beta or Stable versions of Chrome.

Chrome Canary has been available for Windows users since last year and Google said the Mac version "follows the same philosophy". As well as getting the most frequent updates, the build does not go through any manual testing before each release.

This means that it is expected that the build is unstable and probably unusable at times, so Google blocks the ability to set the Canary as the default browser.

Data remains separate between the different versions if you have more than one installed, but using Sync in each will allow you to use your usual bookmarks, extensions, themes and so on. µ
