Google Introduces Early Stable Version of Chrome 110

Google is introducing a new approach to its Chrome release schedule with the upcoming launch of Chrome 110. The new approach will involve the release of an early stable version of the browser a week before the scheduled release date. This early version will be available to a limited set of users and will help Google identify any last-minute issues before the full release.

The new schedule will help Google keep its development channels relatively intact. Early, unstable code will still start taking shape in the Canary channel, while the Beta channel will still allow users to test features prior to a wider public rollout. However, the early stable version will provide an extra layer of security, allowing Google to catch any showstopping issues before they become a problem for a large number of users.

The upcoming release of Chrome 110 will be the first to use the new schedule. Google plans to release the beta version of Chrome 110 on January 12, 2023, and the stable version on February 7. The early stable version will arrive for a limited group of users on February 1, and will be available from the Chrome download page a week later, on February 7.

The new schedule is a welcome change for users, as it will help ensure that any issues are identified and addressed before the full release. It will also help to speed up the delivery of new features, as Google will be able to quickly identify and fix any issues before the full release.
