- Bakkot 12y agoNot really. A lot of people at Google are on Macs. I think it's more that the Chrome team doesn't prioritize Java support, which I think shows their priorities are pretty much in order.
- Terretta 12y agoThe "well, now that the last 32 bit app on your Mac gets with the times, life's gonna be better" comment shows (a) this wasn't just about Java, and (b) they knew they're way behind the times.
- coldtea 12y agoFor one, it's far from the "ast 32 bit app" on the Mac. Second, even some Apple apps took some years to be released as 64 bit after the transition. Third, it's not like 64 bit apps get some magic cookies and unicorn love. Millions of Mac users used 32bit Chrome just fine and didn't even know about it (being 32bit).
- jurip 12y agoAt the moment, the only thing keeping 32 bit frameworks resident on my Mac is Dropbox. I'm sure there's plenty of legacy apps out there, but it looks to me like it's not that common anymore.
- jmhain 12y agoAs a Linux user, I find this quite humorous.
- abrowne 12y agoMore like it showed quite clearly that Google has zero regard for Java browser plugin users and their concerns.
