I got myself a 64-bit motherboard, a 64-bit processor and a 64-bit operating system. I was on a roll. I was also giddy with the anticipation of installing all that 64-bit software that would actually use the 16 gigabytes of RAM I was about to install.<\/p>\n<p>What I didn\u2019t realize is that the rest of the world was still using 32-bit computers, therefore, software developers were not under any pressure to publish 64-bit software. This made 64-bit software hard to find. What a bummer.<\/p>\n<p>That was a while back. Now, to the present\u2026<\/p>\n<p>64-bit software is now becoming more common. In fact, most major pieces of software come in both 32-bit and 64-bit \u201cflavors\u201d. There is one area that is still lagging, though. Browsers.<\/p>\n<p>Internet Explorer comes in both flavors. I think Google\u2019s Chrome does, too. Mozilla, the publisher of Firefox, was working on a 64-bit version but I\u2019ve heard they quit development in that direction. I\u2019ve also heard they have resumed work on a Firefox 64-bit browser.  It\u2019s anybody\u2019s guess at this point.<\/p>\n<p>I use Firefox as my main browser. For that reason and obviously, with far too much time on my hands, I decided to try out a few 64-bit Firefox alternatives. The reason I stick with Firefox is the add-ons, or extensions, if you will. I\u2019ve gotten so used to them that it\u2019s nearly impossible for me to use another browser.<\/p>\n<p>Color me spoiled\u2026<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.davescomputertips.com\/64-bit-browsers-a-need-for-speed\/\" target=\"_blank\">Article Continued Here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>64 bit browsing options are still limited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":49893,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[662],"class_list":["post-49889","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daves-computer-tips","tag-64-bit"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
