Using Chrome on Windows? There’s a good chance you’re still using the 32-bit version. You should upgrade to the 64-bit version. It’s more secure–not to mention faster and more stable.

The only reason not to upgrade is if you’re using a 32-bit version of Windows that can’t run 64-bit programs, but most computers built in the last eight years or so should be 64-bit compatible. Even if your computer is compatible, though, Chrome won’t update to 64-bit on its own–you have to download it yourself.

If you click on the 3 vertical dots on the upper right (Chrome). Then ....help...about google chrome. It will list the Chrome version followed by (32 bit) or (64 bit), depending on which one you're using.

Unless the OS is 32-bit, plug-in extensions some users want that are not supported by 64-bit browsers is the only compelling reason I see to continue with 32-bit browsers, but otherwise 64-bit is better. :)
