Description

Hello!

In the past I wanted to try some performance tests on Canary (https://www.google.com/intl/en_ca/chrome/canary/), but if i recall correctly I abandoned that idea as there was experimentation / AB testing flags that I couldn't control and which were skewing results.

What I'd like to ask is, does the CfT version of Canary (or other release version) have these experiments happening?

Thank you
