-You can test Chrome builds or Chromium builds. Chrome builds have the most
-infrastructure for analyzing crashes and reporting bugs. They also auto-update
-as new releases occur, which makes them a good choice for most uses. [Chrome
-Canary](https://tools.google.com/dlpage/chromesxs) is available for Windows and
-Mac and autoupdates daily. [Other channels](/getting-involved/dev-channel/) (dev
-and beta) are available.
-
-Chromium builds do not auto-update, and do not have symbols. This makes them
-most useful for checking whether a claimed fix actually works. Use the following
-instructions to find builds:
-
-### Easy Point and Click for latest build:
-
-> Open up <https://download-chromium.appspot.com>
-
-### Easy Script to download and run latest Linux build:
-
-* <https://github.com/scheib/chromium-latest-linux>
-
-### Not-as-easy steps:
-
-1. Head to
- <https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/>
-2. Choose your platform: Mac, Win, Linux, ChromiumOS
-3. Pick the Chromium build number you'd like to use
- 1. The latest one is mentioned in the `LAST_CHANGE` file
-4. Download the zip file containing Chromium
-5. There is a binary executable within to run
-
-### Please [file bugs](https://crbug.com/new) as appropriate.

-## Downloading old builds of Chrome / Chromium
-
-Let's say you want a build of Chrome 44 for debugging purposes. Google does not
-offer old builds as they do not have up-to-date security fixes.
-
-However, you can get a build of Chromium 44.x which should mostly match the
-stable release.
-
-Here's how you find it:
-
-1. Look in
- <https://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/search/label/Stable%20updates>
- for the last time "44." was mentioned.
-2. Loop up that version history ("44.0.2403.157") in the [Position
- Lookup](https://omahaproxy.appspot.com/)
-3. In this case it returns a base position of "330231". This is the
- commit of where the 44 release was branched, back in May 2015.\*
-4. Open the [continuous builds
- archive](https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html)
-5. Click through on your platform (Linux/Mac/Win)
-6. Paste "330231" into the filter field at the top and wait for all the
- results to XHR in.
-7. Eventually I get a perfect hit:
- <https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html?prefix=Mac/330231/>
- 1. Sometimes you may have to decrement the commit number until you
- find one.
-8. Download and run!
-
-\* As this build was made at 44 branch point, it does not have any commits
-merged in while in beta.
-
-Typically that's OK, but if you need a true build of "44.0.*2403*.x" then you'll
-need to build Chromium from the *2403* branch. Some
-PortableApps/PortableChromium sites offer binaries like this, due to security
-concerns, the Chrome team does not recommend running them. \ No newline at end of file
