Chrome and Dropbox are the last non-64bit process on my machine. Their argument is YAGNI.

  On that issue, don't even get me started with Firefox not having a 64bit version in Linux (not built by the distros) YAGNI is that kind of dismissive argument that it's not even funny So then if Apple/MS/a linux distro or somebody else shuts down 32-bit binaries they'll be coming with millions of excuses for their incompetence

    Firefox does have an official 64 bit release for Linux since a while: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/16.0.1/linux-x86_64/

      Great! But why this doesn't appear here? http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html Will try this later, as I had to install several 32-bit libs to use the 32-bit version on Fedora 64-bit

  Not the worst argument, given that each Chrome tab is its own process.

    > Not the worst argument It is when it's the only process requiring and loading up a slew of 32-bit dylibs.

    That's only true if you have a small number of tabs open. And if none of them were opened using window.open. And a bunch of other restrictions.
