mucho much faster, mucho much stabler, mucho much goodness. :-D :thumbsup: See here[^] I installed the Dev channel build.

I'm pretty sure it's more than just compiling for 64-bit. It's taking advantage of some of the 64bit processor features as well as the 64bit OS features.

At least they provide good developer tools so you can watch it happen. :laugh:
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
True, that reduces the pain a bit I guess :-)

Chrome uses a huge amount of RAM in comparison to other browsers :(

I like that you can run both 32 and 64 bit versions together. I don't like that they don't share/import cookies - I now have to log in to all my sites... :sigh: Does seem pretty quick to a brief look though!

I tested Chrome on a 32 bit Windows install and on a 64 bit install, Chrome took up more per tab on 64 bit than on 32 bit. This was a few weeks ago before Chrome 64 bit was around.

Huh? I didn't.
Will Rogers never met me.
I did - starting with this one. RootAdmin picked up on that login though, and just addled for a refresh.

I installed the 64 bit version but do not see an icon for it. How do I know it installed properly and how do I run the two versions side by side for comparison?

I'm on-line therefore I am. JimmyRopesI installed the Canary[^] version, and when it ran it pinned itself to the task bar, just as Chrome was (and is). A quick look at the properties gives the target as:
"C:\Users\griff\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome SxS\Application\chrome.exe"
Which is a little odd, an EXE in AppData? The only thing I notice is that is it a secondary installation, so I can't make it my default browser: that remains as Chrome and link clicking in emails opens the 32 bit version.

I will try the Canary version and see if it gets pinned to the task bar. I looked under C://users/JmmyRopes and I don't have an AppData. I don't know where to look because I don't have an icon on the task bar. I'll see if one shows up when I install the Canary version. Thanks for the information.

Open an Windows Explorer window (WIN+E will do it) and type "%appdata%" in the address bar - that'll take you to it as it replaces environment variable names with content. (There are a couple of these folders: http://ss64.com/nt/syntax-variables.html[^] lists them, or there is a full list of environment variables here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd560744(v=ws.10).aspx[^])

Thanks. :thumbsup: Don't have application under chrome so I guess the app didn't install successfully. :confused:

Thanks for the help. I used to know about things like %appdata% but have been doing web development for the past 15 years. :sigh: The Canary installation went fine and now I have a gold chrome icon pinned to my task bar. There is now peace in the valley! :-D
