64-bit Chrome web browser for OS X to officially launch in November

<p>Unlike on Windows, where Chrome is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit, on Mac, Chrome will only be available in 64-bit with version 39 and after. As a result, 32-bit NPAPI plugins will not work on Chrome on Mac version 39 onwards."</p>

<p>In theory, running the 64-bit build of Chrome on OS X should offer better performance for users compared to the 32-bit version. Almost all Mac PCs are able to run the 64-bit version of Chrome, so dumping the 32-bit build shouldn't be a huge issue. If you are an OS X user, are you planning to use the new version of Chrome when it comes out?</p> <p>Source: Google (http://googleappsupdates.blogspot.com/2014/09/google-chrome-64-bit-for-mac-and-windows.html)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-27001"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3e6b881c/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
