Google Chrome 64bit

Google Chrome is now in 64bit. but if you don't want it in 64bit you can still use 32bit. to download the Google Chrome 64bit jest click on windows 64bit from the Google Chrome download page from the Google Chrome website.

Hmm... I wonder if the Firefox makers make their browser in 64 bit now? Microsoft have done it, Google have done it, now Mozilla are the only ones who have their browser only in 32 bit. Unless Firefox is 64 bit and they don't have it shown in the filename when you download it.

Nope, no Firefox x64 and no plans for it either last I read.

it looks like firefox but is not anything to do with Mozilla who make firefox.
as for firefox 64bit do us it in night test's. but did read some where that they are planing to run 64bit in the other to test. aurora / beta but they did not say when.

but if you had Linux you get firefox in 64bit already.

I've gone straight to Chrome 64-bit. The 32-bit version wasn't lighting my fire, I use Chrome occasionally for Google services so I'll give it a whirl if it's supposed to be quicker.

Whats the diff between the 32 and the 64?!

Been using the 64bit version for a while with Chrome Beta and its been running really fast compared to the 32bit version, plus it hasn't crashed on me at all. Very impressed by it.

Just upgraded to Chrome 64 bit, and wow!! all web pages seem to load twice as fast now. They said 15%? No chance, more like easily 50% faster.

I just can't believe the speed of this! its awesome!

Google Chrome is by far the best browser for me now, no other browser comes close.

[Deleted User] · 30/08/14 - 10:04

The huge speed increase is probably down to a few extensions being disabled due to incompatibility. It is faster, but 50% isn't attributable to the program itself.

Firefox has been developing a 64bit version for at least a couple of years now

Just downloaded it, have Chrome as backup to IE11. The 64bit does seem to load pages a lot quicker, Chrome already makes IE look like a snail - can't even copy and paste on webpages now for some reason, patience wearing thin with MS.

No difference on my netbook
