Chrome 64 Bit Beta Mac Much Faster

This should make it easier for you to juggle between multiple Chrome bookmarks and extensions if you share a computer with a family or friend.

Personally, I think the buttons a pretty huge waste of real estate if you never switch profiles, but this is a beta, so things may change.

Chrome 64 Bit Beta Mac Much Faster

Although Chrome has had 64-bit in its Canary alpha channel for a while, this is the first time its hit the beta channel and Google says 64-bit makes browsing on the Mac much faster and secure.

Improved opportunities for ASLR enhance this versions security.

Another major benefit of this change comes from the fact that most programs on a modern Mac are already 64-bit apps.

Now that Chromes a 64-bit app too, we expect youll find that it launches more quickly and that overall system memory use decreases.

Want to wait until the kinks get worked out Google 38 should be hitting this September.

Just after rolling out the stable version of 64-bit Chrome for Windows, they are doing the same for Mac users, though this time still in Beta form.

But beta users, on Mac or otherwise, are all in a for treat as Google announced a new Guest Mode feature for the browser.

That may sometimes become a problem when you consider that browsers such as Chrome store personal and personalized information designed around a single user account.

In the latest beta version of Chrome, a new button appears at the top of the window indicating which user is logged in.

There is also a new Guest mode for one-time users or those that dont have associated Google accounts.

The difference is that once the guest has closed his or her tabs, their browsing information is wiped clean.

Now you dont need to abuse Incognito mode just for that purpose.

Google is now testing the new 64-bit version of the web browser.

Like the Windows update, this switch from 32- to 64-bit instruction sets promises to add speed, stability, and better security.

In addition, if Chrome is the only 32-bit app you have left on your Mac, you will no longer have to worry about 32-bit libraries taking up the systems resources.

However, it also means that 32-bit NPAPI (Netscape Plug-in API) will no longer work with this new browser.

Google, however, assures that such remaining plugins are far and few in between and that NPAPI is on its way out anyway.

In particular, those using first generation Macs that are not capable of running 64-bit systems wont be able to use this new version.

Considering that the 64-bit version of Chrome is rolling out to all Mac Beta channels, such users will have to stay with the stable version 37 of the browser, which will probably be the last version to have a 32-bit option.
