    I've been using dev releases for some time now. So far no major issues or stability problems. My current version is 1.0.154.39 (I think the final released version is 1.0.154.36).

    You can always switch back to the standard release anytime. So go ahead.

    after going to the dev builds is there a easy way to switch back in case of a issue as i said this is a office machine.. (my desktop) or do i have to uninstall and reinstall to go back to the older release version

    Yes, just run the Chrome Chanel Switcher again (chromechannel-xx.exe) and select the first option.

    Go to About Google Chrome and see if there is a update available?

    Maybe the channel switcher program is not updated to reflect the final release, but in any case once you select the first option it should switch you out of the dev branch and in to the main release.
