Google Chrome publishes new releases to the Dev channel frequently. The Dev channel gives the community access to upcoming features, features in development, and the latest bug fixes. We can use feedback from Dev channel users to improve and iterate on feature ideas, and make sure that the latest features work properly before we release them to a wider audience.
The Dev channel is useful for:
- Web developers who want to test their sites or scripts with pre-release versions of Google Chrome
- Testers who need to make sure they’re working with the latest bug fixes
- Anyone who wants to help make Google Chrome better — your feedback helps us turn good new features into great features, and using the Dev channel is a simple way for anyone to help.
Note: Dev channel releases are less stable than Beta channel releases. Expect the occasional “sad tab” or even browser crashes (if you turn on ‘Help make Google Chrome better..’ in Options, we’ll get the crash reports so we can fix the bugs).
Automatic updates of new Dev channel releases are published every 1-2 weeks
Subscribing to the Dev channel
- Download and run the Google Chrome Channel Chooser (http://chromium.googlecode.com/files/chromechannel-1.0.exe).
- Click the circle next to Dev.
- Click Update to save your choice.
- Click Close.
- In Google Chrome, click the wrench menu and choose About Google Chrome.
Note: On Windows Vista, updates from the About box require Service Pack 1. With 0.2.149.29 (the current release), on demand updates do not work in Vista SP1 if User Account Control is disabled.
- Click Update Now to install the current Dev channel release.
- Restart Google Chrome.

So, here, for my own use and yours too if you have the need, is a very simple program to export bookmarks from Chrome to a standard document (the age-old bookmark.html file) usable by Firefox or IE (or I would imagine just about anything else).
While I was there, I also added the tremendously useless button to remove all download history as well - another item that seems to not be available yet in Chrome itself.

You’ve seen its flashy features and were impressed with its speed, and now you wish you could put Google Chrome on your thumb drive and take it with you wherever you go? It’s far from official, but German blogger Caschy has put together a portable version of Google Chrome you can run off your thumb drive. Just unzip the download to your thumb drive and run ChromeLoader.exe. All your Chrome settings and profile information now save to your thumb drive. This is a very early solution, and we’ll be keeping our eyes out for a more streamlined version from the folks at PortableApps, but if you’re dying to take Chrome with you, this Portable Chrome should do the trick.

open mailto: email links from Google Chrome in Google Mail account (now with Google Apps!)
Google Chrome is the world’s most advanced browser, with many new technical features. We found one missing: we can’t send emails through Google Mail by clicking on mailto: links. All clicks will open up Windows’ default mail client.
So we created an application that does the above: it’s called ChromeMailer.

TabsLock lets you use your Caps Lock key to launch and focus a new Google Chrome tab from anywhere, even if Chrome isn’t running. This allows low-thought, global keyboard access to web search and navigation.
Stuff
- Holding the Shift key while you press CapsLock will allow you to engage or disengage CapsLock normally.
- CapsLock lovers, this is not for you.
- TabsLock runs in the System Tray in the bottom-right of your screen - right clicking on the
icon will allow you to control it.
- If you wish to launch Chrome with a custom command line, create a desktop shortcut named ‘chromespace’ with the properties you want. If this file does not exist, TabsLock will then use the ‘Google Chrome’ desktop shortcut, and failing that, the installed exe.
- Apple builds a 250ms CapsLock delay into the hardware of its newer keyboards, ensure you keep CapsLock down for at least that long.
