Google has released a new update for Chrome Dev on Android, bringing the version to 148.0.7739.3. The release was officially announced on March 19, 2026, via the Chrome Releases blog.
As is typical for Chrome Dev builds, the announcement doesn’t include a detailed changelog. Instead, Google directs developers and users to Chromium project resources and developer documentation where ongoing changes and experiments are tracked.
The main update is that Chrome Dev 148.0.7739.3 is now available for Android users subscribed to the Dev channel, marking the continuation of the 148 branch’s development.
This update is the second release to Chrome Dev 148 this month. An earlier build, version 148.0.7728.3, was pushed out on March 12, both following the same pre-release development track.
For context, Chrome Dev is Google’s experimental channel designed for testing upcoming features well before they arrive in the stable version of Chrome. According to Google, the stable release remains at an earlier version, and Chrome 148 is still undergoing active testing for Android.
Compared to leading browsers like Apple’s Safari and Microsoft Edge, Chrome’s Dev channel offers early adopters and developers a chance to preview and influence new functionalities, though it comes with expected trade-offs such as instability and unfinished features.
Keep an eye on Chrome Dev 148 as Google refines this update. Key questions include which new features will survive the testing phase and when they’ll migrate to Chrome’s Beta and Stable channels for wider release.
