What benefits are you expecting from the switch to a 64bit browser?

dont really know, but i would think 64 bit software would take advantage of 64 bit cpu's. maybe give stability or speed

Been using the 64 bit Chrome since beta. Working great here.

Don't really know if any benefit. I just like using 64 bit software on a 64 bit OS whenever possible. Call me crazy.

That makes sense, why use a software meant for a slow 32 bit processer when you can run something that is meant for 64 bit which usually gives better stability and speed

Me too. I have to say I noticed zero difference though. I can see no discernable difference between any browsers come to that. My speed is far more limited by my internet connection I think than any possible browser difference.

Incidentally IE11 is 64 bit if you use the metro app or turn on enhanced protected mode in internet options.

This is the version I am using ..Chrome browser 64-bit

Works very well on my W8.1 64-bit install

I think Chrome 64 bit is faster than 32 bit. That is my impression, even after using it for a week or so. It is not a big difference however, might be illusion - like when cleaning your car makes it run better

Hi there

Browser SPEEDS are a bit like reaching the end of a rainbow -- Usually speed is much more dependant on your Internet connection, the capability of the site hosting the URL at the target end (if that's busy it won't matter how fast your network, computer or software is), and what you are doing - for example using a browser to watch video.

Unless you've got a mega load of plugins - there isn't any significant differences between any of them - so choose the INTERFACE you like best.

64 bit browsers will only become important once websites start requiring browsers to execute 64 bit code and that's not likely for AGES yet --could become the worlds first Y3K project !!! (Year 3000).

Cheers

Sorry but I very much doubt you'll see an improvement with a 64-bit browser over a 32-bit one. And it's true of most applications. In most cases you can also see a decrease in performance. Google for : Firefox Waterfox Palemoon Comparison as an example and you'll see in most serious speed tests the 32-bit app still remains the best.

64-bit is only useful in applications that demand a lot of memory such as databases, video processing or scientific computing. For most home users this means you're better off staying with 32-bit for all your applications, and this includes browsers.

In theory yes, but in reality not so much. Most people use 32-bit, so development of 64-bit gets very little attention, no extra improvements, no bugs being fixed and so on. Also 32-bit runs fine on every system and with no compatibility issues. 64-bit OS has been around for quite some time and majority of software is still 32-bit. Even people do not realize, that almost every security software is 32-bit only, 64-bit compatible is not the same thing. But then again, the more users move to 64-bit, the better and Google will not neglect it.

Downloading the 64-bit now. Looking forward to see how it is compared to the 32-bit. I also use Maxthon and Firefox.
