Title: Have Chrome Left 32Bit Support?
Post by: MohamedKhaled on November 15, 2017, 01:53:41 AM

hi guys, my chrome installed on 32bit windows 7 stopped working, so I had to use Linux only for browsing as that I have 64bit Linux, but it appears that after searching that chrome stopped 32bit support, had to go to my B solution Opera Browser.

32bit Chrome was discontinued +/- March 2016.. It was pulled from LL around that same time..
I believe Chromium still supports 32bit - if you're really wanting that Chrome feel on a 32bit box.... 64bit Chrome is all good.
Or Plans B - ??
Firefox - Opera - etc etc

Although beyond Chrome ending support for 32bit, I think OS's in general will be phasing away from 32 in favor of 64...
