Google Chrome (64-bit)

Chrome 64-Bit is an internet browser with many additional features. This is currently one of the most popular browsers and is a free program available for all computers and devices. You can download a variety of extensions that add extra functionality to this program based on your needs.

Integration and Functionality

There are many simple browsers that allow you to visit your favorite websites and bookmark pages. Chrome goes the extra mile and really integrates itself with your computer and browsing activity. Many people liken this to a separate operating system because Chrome allows you to do nearly all your functions right from the browser itself. Not only that, but it keeps adding features, tools and extensions so that you don't need any other program aside from Chrome.

For example, Google has created various online programs like GMail, Google Docs and Google Slides. All of these integrate seamlessly with Chrome. You can see when new emails are coming in, if someone is working on a document or pull up files right from Chrome itself. There's also the Google account feature. You just need to make a single Google Chrome account and use this as login credentials for all your favorite sites. This keeps all your usernames, passwords and preferences neatly organized within the Chrome environment. There is no other browser that integrates itself so much into your browsing and online activity.

Not only that, but it's easy to carry over your bookmarks, preferences and account between different devices. You can go from one computer to the next and retain all your bookmarks and more by simply entering your Google account information. Some other browsers can also sync with other devices, but none do it as proficiently as Chrome.

Plenty of Extensions

Browsing is great and that's what most people initially download a browser for, but having more features is always better. Chrome does this by allowing you to install extensions. These are like small programs or tools that function within the browser itself. Some extensions simply allow Chrome to understand new programming languages so that specific websites or tools can load properly. Others allow you to do new things, like download streaming videos or save money with online coupons. There are thousands of extensions and it's easy to find something that matches your needs. Some even provide cosmetic upgrades for the browser or certain websites.

Chrome isn't the only program with extensions, but only a few even come close to Chrome's proficiency with this. Not only are there many extensions to choose from, but they are also easy to download and install. You don't need to do anything complicated. Simply download them and active them when you want them to work. If the extension isn't as good as you expected, then you can easily deactivate or uninstall the extension in seconds.

Incognito Mode

Many people want to retain their privacy online and it's easy to see why. No one wants people to know what they're searching for. More than that, advertisers will see what you're looking for and will show ads alongside your favorite websites. Not only that, but many people are unsettled when they understand how much of their information is accessible just by browsing. Chrome has a special mode called Incognito Mode that can help with this. It allows you to browse privately and significantly reduces your online footprint.

This mode can be activated by pushing a button and is just as easy to deactivate. You can also use a hotkey to launch a new window in Incognito Mode. Chrome won't store your browsing history or cookies in this mode. None of your existing information is sent to websites and they cannot place cookies on your computer or track your existing cookies.

While this safeguards most of your private information, there is one thing that websites can still view. Your IP address won't be hidden in Incognito Mode. This makes sense when you understand why. Most websites that cannot view your IP address will either not grant you access or will make it difficult to access the website. At the same time, this doesn't make the browsing entirely private.

Chrome starts up with a homepage that shows all your favorite and most frequently viewed websites. This is fine when you're browsing by yourself, but it might be an issue if someone is looking behind your shoulder. Incognito Mode prevents websites from showing up on this homepage. As long as you only view the website in this mode, then it won't show on the homepage.

Specific Systems

This is for the 64-bit version of Chrome. Every modern computer is made with a 64-bit system. This change was made several years ago and gives programmers more liberty when it comes to making software or utilizing hardware. At the same time, it's important to note that 64-bit programs won't work on older 32-bit systems. If your computer is older and runs on a 32-bit system, then this specific version of Chrome won't work for you.

At the same time, you can still experience Chrome and all its features. Just make sure to install the 32-bit version.

Free and Fast

As expected of an online browser, Chrome 64-Bit is a completely free program. You can make use of all its inherent features without paying a cent. The only time you might have to pay is with some extensions. This is fairly rare and reserved for premium extensions that offer an extensive number of features.

Chrome is also one of the fastest browsers. There are very few that go head-to-head with it in terms of speed.
