I understand what Canary is. But it's pretty useless if you don't know what beta features are available. So is there a place where this information can be found? I've been googling but can't find anything.

Google Chrome Canary is a free program offered by Google. Google Chrome Canary is mainly an untested alpha version of the new Google Chrome browser, which early adopters and developers, to experiment and test for new features or bugs which may have been introduced to the latest versions.
Once Chrome Canary restarts, you can test out the new feature (if it’s visible) or otherwise monitor the browser’s performance or stability while the browser is active. If you’re unhappy, repeat the steps above to return to the Experiments menu and restore the setting flag to the Default setting from the drop-down menu.
Google Chrome is no different, with four different release “channels” that range from Stable, offering the most stable release for normal users, to Canary, offering bleeding edge features and fixes but with a lot more instability. That’s important to recognize, as Google Chrome Canary isn’t a stable browser.
Once installed, Chrome Canary will appear in the Windows Start menu or the Launchpad menu on Mac—select this icon to launch it on your PC or Mac. Chrome Canary, unlike the Stable release of Google Chrome, has a gold icon to distinguish it from the Stable version of the Chrome browser.
Chrome Canary isn't the Chrome Beta, it's built daily and is the bleeding edge of Chromium development. Writing digested changelogs isn't feasible for daily builds.

click on the current tag, e.g. 62.0.3168.0 and then on log.
For Chrome Beta, the Chromium Blog is a good resource:
