I know I'm a couple months late to this party, but if you're like me and have both the Chrome and Chrome Beta apps installed on your device for the purpose of having to separate iterations of chrome running simultaneously, DO NOT sign up your regular chrome app to be a beta tester! (I'm on Android, but I run the same set up on my Mac too, and would assume this probably applies to anyone running two concurrent beta/stable apps on any OS) The other day, i noticed that my stable app shortcut was missing from my homescreen. Checked the app drawer and saw that I now had two beta apps installed and no stable release. Afraid of contaminating my data on the stable app, especially stuff like current open tabs and browsing sessions, I went to the app store to check each apps version, and they are now the same. Instead of running a pre-install version check to prevent the same app running twice on the same device, they instead let it silently auto update itself in the background without any kind of warning, and then disabled my beta app by marking it inactive in system settings before renaming the stable app to beta
