Google Chrome Canary is the nightly preview build of the Chrome browser, made by Google for developers and keen early adopters. Canary shows where the web is heading, with new features and platform tools arriving long before they reach the stable Chrome that most people use. Google warns that Canary can be unstable, so treat it as a testing browser rather than your only browser.
