64-bit chrome for windows

Twice the legs, makes it adhere more firmly to the socket. Extremely useful in steep curve situations.

The new version replaces the existing version while preserving all your settings and bookmarks, so there’s no need to uninstall a current installation of Chrome.

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.

twice as many bits of course!

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
