Windows 7: is there is or is there ain't 64 bit Chrome for Windows?

MilesAhead · 17 Sep 2010

Every time I search I see these articles from 2009 how 64 bit Chrome for Windows is right around the corner. None of the articles or download sites in 2010 seem to have it though. So, is there is or is there ain't 64 bit Chrome for Windows?

No x64 Chrome yet. I truly think the elephant in that room is Flash. Until there is a x64 Flash, I doubt there is much incentive. A Guy

Yes, I saw that. Now there is incentive. Surely Google has an x64 version almost ready after all the development time. A Guy

Neither Chromium nor V8 has a 64-bit version on the Windows platform right now. However, Chrome does run on 64-bit Windows as a 32-bit application. V8 should only need a small number of changes to build on the Windows platform.

Chromium V8 engine does not have native x64 builds as it is not ready yet

Thanks for the info. Sometimes it's difficult to screen out old articles in search engines. 2010 keyword doesn't always work.

btw out of curiosity, does anyone know how the code works in those FF AddOn thingies? Is it script that shouldn't break due to "bitness" or is 64 bit going to hose all the AddOns? Chrome I can run with about 1/4 the extensions I use in FF... so I'm more prone to trying it in 64 bit.

edit: btw I didn't realize is you is or is you ain't my baby was so old!
