How to Change Google Chrome Release Channel (Beta or Dev)

Upcoming Google Chrome features show up on the developer channel first, and later on the beta channel. It is pretty easy to change channels. Remember that Developer builds, and Beta builds might be buggy and may not be suitable for daily use.

Do not use any beta/dev channels as your primary browser.
