The beta channel is updated every six weeks, making updates few and far between. By the time new features are hitting this channel, they will have been in development and testing for several weeks, meaning they should be much more stable and ready for prime time. This is the channel for most users and enthusiasts who just want access to upcoming features early, but don't want to risk stability and browser performance. This channel is designed primarily for developers building extensions and web applications that need to check their solutions to ensure upcoming changes don't break anything. The developer channel is excellent for those who don't want to be bombarded by daily browser updates but do want to test new features as they are still in development.
