Personally I’m not a big fans of Google Chrome Browser but I would like to try new cool features for the upcoming release of Google Chrome Browser in advance.
I think the Chrome dev channel has averaged weekly updates which is really nice because you can literally watch plug-in fixes and other improvements arrive every few days.

Here I would like to share how can I make it.

1. Download and run the Google Chrome Channel Chooser.
2. Click the circle next to Dev.
3. Click Update to save your choice.
4. Click Close.
5. 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.
6. Click Update Now to install the current Dev channel release.
7. Restart Google Chrome.

After being in testing for literally years, Google Suggest is finally coming to Google.com. This is the feature where as you start to type in the search box, related searches automatically appear below where you are typing.

For example, start typing [olympics] into the search box at Google Suggest, and below the box, you start seeing suggestions such as:

* olympics 2008
* olympics schedule
* olympics tv schedule
* olympics 2012

It’s easy to move your cursor down to any of the suggestions to select that as your search.
