Google Chrome 64 Bit for Linux

By gregladen on August 25, 2009.

A 64-bit version of the Google Chrome browser is now ready, but Windows users will still have some time to wait for their version.

In a mailing list posting this week, Chrome developer Dean McNamee wrote that the Google v8 JavaScript team have working on a 64-bit port. There are now full instructions on the Google Code wiki for Chromium on how to build Chrome for 64-bit Linux.

How can Google be taken seriously if a) it runs it's own business on LAMP servers using mainly Python; b) develops a multi-threaded browser with a memory-conservative development API; c) call it all open source and d) make it available only on Windows? Since Google Chrome is probably very good…

Google Chrome for Linux (and Mac)
Codeweavers has got a Linux 'version' of Chrome!!! (And a Mac version too.) Chromium is the new Google browser. It is good because it is open source. (Yes, Virginia, that is one criterion for being 'good'). Also, it might be good for other reasons. My friend Gayle really likes it, for instance…

I think this is only the beginning of a trend we're likely to see over the next several months. Google's application development for Linux has been lagging behind (SketchUp, anyone?). Their announcement of a planned Google OS—based on Linux—puts a burden on their developers to have their own applications available for their OS. Failing to have those applications ready would look rather… pathetic.

Don't worry, Mike, I'll build you a nice 64-bit system.

I've been using the 64-bit Chromium dev build for a few hours now, and I like it. Nice rendering, and very small RAM/CPU footprint. It's not exactly Google Chrome, but built on Chromium just the same.

Wait, Mike, are you saying they posted 64-bit to the exclusion of 32-bit??

I haven't even looked into this yet, only tried Chrome briefly on Windows at work, but I should do so right now -- I'm sitting at a 64 bit Ubuntu box at the moment. No time like the present!
