What is Google Chrome Canary?

Google Chrome Canary is an early release of Google Chrome. The internet browser follows the following workflow, when it comes to releases (from top to bottom):

• Canary
• Dev
• Beta
• Stable

Stable is the version that is tried and tested and that you are most likely using right now.

Canary is the very early release, mostly aimed at developers and testers.

Why Should I Install it?

Among the many features, this early release of the browser has the Core Web Vitals integrated in the Dev Tools.

This means you can check your web page’s Core Web Vitals directly from Chrome, without using an extension.
