Google Chrome 64 Bit (Canary/Dev)

[Eskomisaloser]

Today we’re announcing the addition of 64-bit support to Chrome, with two brand new 64-bit Dev and Canary channels for Windows 7 and 8 users, giving a faster and more secure browsing experience. To try it out, download the 64-bit installer from our Canary or Dev download pages. 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.

About darn time, I've been asking for this for the last couple of years.

64-bit uptake is slow on windows, still so many 32-bit apps out.

Tried it on Win 7 Pro 64bit. Could not get the Chrome internal flash to function, system did not allow me set it as the default browser. So I will now wait for the official release.

Flash only initiate now and then or even takes time to load, the only other issue I'm experiencing is an extremely slow (under layman it translates to bad) user experience which is not related to cache. Tried both the Canary and dev version, both shares the same experience. I will continue to test…

I got that when installing it alongside 32-bit Chrome. Uninstalling both versions and reinstalling it should fix the issue.

For me it's much faster than Waterfox, which was already pretty solid. Canary is about as solid as 64-bit IE11 now.

The problem still remains that Chrome Canary/Dev will only remain a Dev with this browser default notice "This is a secondary installation of Google Chrome, and cannot be made your default browser" until it becomes a Final release. Thanks for headsup your advise worked.

To all Google Chrome "fundies" wonder if you could answer these questions around Chrome browsers.
If a stable version 36.0.1985.125m (32bit) has been installed on a Win 7 Pro 64bit system.
Q1- Wonder how Google will notify users that their Chrome Canary 64bit is now a final release, offering an install/update to the these users of 32bit on 64bit systems?
Q2- When is Chrome Canary 64bit DEV to be elevated to FINAL RELEASE status?
Thanks to all replies.
