Answer 1

To run either of the google-chrome browser variant among:
Chrome Canary
Chrome from Dev Channel
Raw build of Chromium for Windows x64
You need to to download the latest Chromium binary from either of the official repositories:
The Chromium Projects
chromium.appspot
Chrome Canary - Nightly build for developers
and you can use the following solution:
Code Block:
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
public class A_Chrome_Canary {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions opt = new ChromeOptions();
opt.setBinary("C:\\Users\\AtechM_03\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome SxS\\Application\\chrome.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(opt);
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");
System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
}
}
Console Output:

This worked for me
