Google Chrome.
Starting from Chrome 110, Google Chrome updates will be rolled out to public users like you and me in two stages – a small percentage of users will receive updates first, and all the other users will receive said updates a week later onwards.
According to Google’s Chrome Developers' blog post, this change in update approach lets the development team monitor for any major problems before the version release hits everyone at once. Issues can be rectified while keeping the impact small.
The team added that this change in release schedules has little impact on third-party developers who make Chrome extensions. We’d think the impact is even lower for end-users of Google Chrome, since you’re bound to get the updates on time anyway, with a small chance of being a guinea pig and one week earlier than the rest of the world.
The bigger news here is Chrome 110 is confirmed for a 7 February 2023 roll out, which bring out some massive changes in both directions, where features will be added and also removed. For example, Chrome will no longer be supported on devices running Windows 7, 8, and 8.1, and it will likely introduce highly-customisable themes in the same style as Android 12 and 13’s Material You. However, the exact details on new or removed features will only pop up on the Beta page at the Chrome Developers site (currently scheduled on 12 January 2023).
