You might say I'm crazy, but I use Opera Next, Firefox Nightly, and Chrome Canary. Is Chrome Canary x64 better than Firefox Nightly (x86)? I use x64.

They don't come without risks for being extremely buggy. Chrome Canary user for a few months now, problems I've faced from breaking websites, flash not working, no About page, X button not working, and to top it off multiple updates over a few days. And may make some extensions only partially operational.

Use at your own risk.

I never use Canary. I was using Firefox Nightly (x64). It is very stable for home use. I am also using Firefox Aurora which is more stable than Nigthly. Nightly gets updates daily. Firefox Aurora gets updates each 2-3 days.
Only issue is I had, some extensions does not support these builds. You are good to go Aurora, I think. But remember, these browsers are testing purpose only.

Funny thing is, I feel Aurora is too tame. I like to take some risks :)

So, are you saying Firefox Nightly is more stable than Canary? I've had a VERY bad experience with Aurora, pages would load too long and everything wouldn't work. However, Nightly didn't have this issue! :)

I have used Chrome Canary but didn't face any bugs till now so if you like to take a risks you should go with Chrome Canary.

I never try to judge an unfinished product, it would be like trying to say which half painted house looks the best.
These test builds are for testing only and should not be used for normal browsing.

Enjoy!! :D

Which versions did you test? New Firefox builds more agile than ever. They did some under the hood improvements.
Australis does not mean only interface.
