Bleeding Edge Chromium

For now the Canary release is only available for Windows machines.

Linux users are third class netizens yet again .

With the release of Canary, Google now makes available no fewer than four different versions of its browser. The Canary one is the most experimental one, the developer version is aimed at pre-beta users, the beta version is one that is almost ready to be released, and the full, stable releases are ready for day-to-day use.

Ok, so Canary builds of Chrome, in lingo used outside of Google, are essentially unstable builds with a tendency to lean towards being nightly builds?

I'll stick with Firefox4.

You mean Netscape Navigator is being replaced?

I wouldn't say that, I've been using Chromium nightly for months now. I can't see how an early Chrome build can be much different?

I'm confused, what then is the difference between a tweeting Canary build and a Nightly Build? - sure the nightly builds would be more bleeding edge than the Canary builds?

This is the story right now. Chrome has 4 different branches right now being the Stable, Beta, Developer and now the Canary build. How Canary falls into this picture is that it has placed itself between the Chrome Developer build and the pretty recent builds of Chromium.
So it goes as follows: Stable, Beta, Dev, Canary, Chromium builds. There is a thread in the Linux sub forums that explains the whole story.
