Chrome has a shorter beta testing cycle? I thought both browsers had 6 weeks for that.


Chrome and Firefox both have 6 week release cycles, but Chrome does not have an equivalent to Firefox's Aurora channel. Aurora adds an extra 6 weeks from feature checkin to release. :\


Chrome: canary, dev, beta, release

Firefox: nightly, aurora, beta, release

Isn't Chrome dev the parallel to Firefox aurora?


AFAICT, Canary is like Nightly and Dev is a ~weekly stable snapshot of Canary. So Dev is running parallel to Canary.

On my machine, Canary is version 25.0.1365.1 and Dev is 25.0.1364.2, slightly behind. Beta is 24.0.1312.25.


Oh, I didn't realize that. I don't see this written anywhere though, the best I could find is a quote from Paul Irish that features on Canary get to users in 11 weeks, "unless there is a delay".
