Publisher's Description
From Google:
Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the Web faster, safer, and easier. Use one box for everything, type in the address bar and get suggestions for both search and Web pages. Thumbnails of your top sites let you access your favorite pages instantly with lightning speed from any new tab. Desktop shortcuts allow you to launch your favorite Web apps straight from your desktop.
The canary build is less stable, but with even more cutting-edge features than the developer's build, which tests new features before they're pushed to the beta build. It should only be used by those who are willing to risk browsing data loss.
Google Chrome Canary is in the Web Browsers category of the Browsers section.

"Reliable, fast"
Version: Google Chrome Canary 7.0.512.0
Pros
It's better than all the others. That seems a good reason for making it my default. IE is dreadful, Opera has lots of perks but sometimes refuses to open, Mozilla has deteriorated and tends to crash....
Cons
I would like a drop-down menu from the address line. Only the home screen displays recently visited sites, which means I have to open a new tab to find them. Or am I missing something?
Summary

"If you have Windows I fully recommend this excellent."
Version: Google Chrome Canary 7.0.512.0
Pros
Google Chrome Canary is another version of Google Chrome made only for Windows computers. So it is faster than other Chrome browsers.
Cons
None at all.
Summary
Google Chrome Canary is an open source version of Google Chrome but made only for Windows computers. But the added plus is G. Chrome Canary like Chromium is a separate browser from Google Chrome and Chromium so it can be installed alongside Chromium and Google Chrome. Even if you already have Google Chrome and Chromium on your computer and the 3 browsers do not conflict or clash with one another as they are all separate browsers. Google Chrome Canary is a separate browser from Google Chrome,even though they all look alike.Just like Safefox and Pale Moon browsers are open sources of Firefox and look alike but are different browsers. But for most people it is a choice between Google Chrome or Google Chrome canary. I have Chromium and I tried this and was so Impressed with Google Chrome Canary I have kept it on my computer. I was thinking about getting a spare Chrome browser as I only had one, Chromium, and I did not want Comodo Dragon as it is slow. I first thought of Google Chrome but Canary impressed me so much I have chosen to have this version of Google Chrome instead. And it is faster than Google Chrome and anyone who has Windows will feel at home with this browser. Because as it is made for windows works better than a lot of other Chrome browsers and is lighter software. So if you do not have this browser yet you should get it. I love the yellow icon too!
