I utilize Google Chrome Canary for development work.

System: OS: macOS Big Sur 11.2.3 Processor: i7

Since Canary has a nightly build, I am regularly running Update Chrome button in the browser, but not every day. Yesterday, this update caused Canary to crash. I tried the following:

  • Restarting Canary
  • Downloading and re-installing the Canary build
  • Restarting my computer

None worked. Today, I simply re-downloaded the nightly build, and voila all was working again.

(Working Build: Version 92.0.4476.0 (Official Build) canary (x86_64))

On the above link, they fully warn ye who enter here:

Get on the bleeding edge of the web. Be warned: Canary can be unstable.

So I guess I'll treat this, my first question, as practice if there really is no good answer:

Is there anywhere safe on the web to download and run a previous version of the Canary build in these situations? Otherwise I might just have to save my last stable download locally and have that as a fall-back.

You could find and backup the last build of your canary in these default folder:

For macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome Canary/

For windows 10:
\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome SxS\Application

I'm not sure if you could find the previous build in there.
