Chrome Dev

Chrome Dev for Android

Chrome Dev is an early-release Android browser from Google LLC. It is intended for people who want to test Chrome features before they reach the standard Android browser, while accepting that experimental changes may be less polished or less predictable.

Who it suits

This app is aimed at developers, testers and experienced Chrome users who are comfortable evaluating unfinished browser changes. It can also suit anyone who wants to provide feedback on new Chrome behaviour before wider release. It is better treated as a testing channel than as the only browser on a phone used for routine browsing.

Channel notes

Chrome Dev is separate from other Chrome release channels, so it can be used alongside another Chrome build on the same Android device. That makes it useful for comparing early browser changes with a more established version. The main distinction is its release stage: new capabilities and adjustments arrive here earlier, with a greater chance of rough edges or changes based on testing and user feedback.
