Google today announced version 37 of Chrome which includes 64-bit Chrome, stable and no longer in beta, for Windows 7 and 8. The main advantages of a 64-bit version of Chrome are three, as Google writes on his Chromium blog:
1) Speed : thanks to the 64-bit processor Google can take advantage of the greater power to load Chrome with more speed, especially in graphics and multimedia content.
2) Security : On Windows 8 Chrome is able to take advantage of the latest features of the 64-bit operating system to keep browser data safe from exploits and to better defend against hacking techniques.
3) Stability : Google Chrome 64 bit is more stable than the 32 bit version according to the tests carried out by Google itself.
64-bit Chrome installs automatically on 64-bit PCs that use a 64-bit version of Windows 7 and 8.
If you install 64-bit Chrome, it replaces the 32-bit, importing all the settings, bookmarks and other data.
The user may not even notice this change.
to check the use of the 64-bit version, open the page with the address chrome: // chrome on a new tab.
If it is written 64 bit it's fine, otherwise you still have the 32 bit version.
In case, you can download Chrome 64 bit version from the official website .
I remember that the 64-bit version of Firefox, called Waterfox, unofficial, has existed for some time.
