Two days ago the Google Chrome browser update was released, now the 32nd version is relevant. In the new version several innovations are implemented at once and one of the most noticeable is the new Windows 8 mode. Let's talk about it and about one more innovation.

New tabs in the browser

I am sure that any Chrome user, and other browsers, have come across the fact that when browsing the Internet, a sound comes from some browser tabs, but it’s impossible to figure out which one. In Chrome 32, with any tabbed multimedia activity, its source has become easily identified by the icon; it looks like it can be seen in the image below.

Perhaps someone from the readers, information about these new features will be useful. Another innovation - Google Chrome account control - remote viewing of user activity and the imposition of restrictions on site visits. I haven't figured it out yet.

History of Google Chrome

Google Chrome 64-bit was released in 2014. The browser, Google Chrome utilizes a minimalistic approach to design with all the technological sophistication that needs to come with a faster, safer, and more stable web browser.

Can I use Google Chrome 64-bit?

Chrome is now optimized to run on 64-bit processors running Windows. If you are running a Windows operating system of 7, 8, 8.1, or 10, on a computer that uses a 64-bit processor, then you can use Google Chrome 64-bit.

What is Included in Google Chrome 64-bit?

Windows 8.1 Product Key

Its top three upgraded features are arguably made just for 64-bit processor users.

In terms of speed, of course, 64-bit processors are faster than the 32-bit processors; so Google claims on average; 64-bit users of Google Chrome 64-bit will see around twenty-five percent improvement in performance, especially when viewing visual elements.

Google states that the 64-bit version of Google Chrome overall helps improve the quality and speed of High Definition videos on YouTube.

On stability, Google claims Chrome 64-bit experiences crashes about half as often as their 32-bit version of Chrome. This is great, considering Chrome already has a low crash rate.

Finally, an upgrade in security takes utilization of a feature in Windows 8 that seemingly makes it more difficult for hackers and attackers to find and target the processes running on your computer.

In addition, Google Chrome 64-bit comes with desktop shortcuts that allow you to access your favorite websites, bookmarks, and apps straight from your desktop.

Pros

Concluding Thoughts

If you are not running Google Chrome 64-bit, then you should be. The only reason you do not have to run the 64-bit version is that your computer is not able to run it. If you want a faster, more stable and more secure connection, then upgrading to Google Chrome 64-bit is the best choice. Even computers built in at least the last five years should be able to run Chrome 64-bit; however, there is no automatic update for this upgrade, you have to go in and download it yourself.

Most users will not even notice the difference when running the 32-bit or 64-bit versions, but tests have shown there are only slight differences between the two versions. However, because of the added stability features it is worth your while to upgrade to the 64-bit version just for the added security, if nothing else.
