Chrome For Mac Drops 32-bit Build
jones_supa writes Google has revealed that it's launching the finished 64-bit version of Chrome 39 for OS X this November, which already brought benefits in speed, security and stability on Windows. However at this point the 32-bit build for Mac will cease to exist. Just to make it clear, this decision does not apply to Windows and Linux builds, at least for now. As a side effect, 32-bit NPAPI plugins will not work on Chrome on Mac version 39 onwards. The affected hardware are only the very first x86-based Macs with Intel Core Duo processors. An interesting question remains, whether the open source version of Chrome, which is of course Chromium, could still be compiled for x86-32 on OS X.
Oh, you aren't trapped. You simply have failed to recognize this as a sign from St. Jobs that your tithing is becoming a bit stingy for a fine, upstanding member of the Cult of Apple.
Free yourself from your shackles! Bask in the Glorious Light of a Retina Display (on certain models), of towers that can be confused with an ashtray, of connectors used by no one else on the planet. Of operating systems with the lifespan of a midge fly.
Or, you can be doomed forever in the Pit of Financial Sobriety.
The choice is yours. Upgrade or die.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
I was willing to entertain Firefox again, but it's since proven to be a den of militant queers and feminists who will burn anyone at the stake, even their founder, for thoughtcrimes.
Fuck 'em. May they turn to gay for pay in order to survive. I hope they all get a hairy hampster lodged in their ass.
Fortunately, Palemoon works very well and seems not to be a den of sodomy and buttsex, let alone persecutorial sodomites.
Mozilla is not about producing a browsers. It's Google's charity to faggots and feminists, who can't do shit for real. They can only gossip, fuck each other, and ostracize like grade school girls.
