03 July 2020
Apple's iOS is 64-bit only since 2017, but things are messier in the Android world.

I've upgraded from 4GB ram to 8GB and it is enough for running Chrome smoothly. Also they will reduce ram usage after few updates. Even if you never use Chrome you still need 8GB ram if you use Windows 10.

            I have been using MS Edge since then not using Chrome. Edge is way better in every aspect to Chrome.

                    It's simply the best.
                    Stock firewall on Android is unreliable and apps especially system apps are notorious for finding a way to bypass it.

                              The problem is not just the apps, but OEMs who are selling phones with 64bit chip but in 32bit mode. And nothing is being done to inform the end user.

                              But good news for OEMs as they can sell new and more expensive phones.

                                niku, 04 Jul 2020So will it drain double the battery hereafter? A 32 Bit App can only access upto 4GB of Data



                                A 64 Bit APP Can Access upto 17.179 Billion GB of RAM


                                Yes 17.179 Billion GB.

                                    Good move. Finally stop using 32 bit devices and apps. Even my ten years old laptop has 64 bit processor. And my S6 Edge which is five years old has 64 bit processor. My only complain about Chrome is that android version doesn't have adblock. I've also used Opera Firefox UC for android. Firefox has addons including adblock but it is slow browser. Desktop version is great. Opera was good but adblock doesn't work anymore in android version. UC browser works good but it displays full screen ads. Finally I've installed Microsoft Edge Chromium. It works great both on desktop and android. Try it yourself but don't forget to enable adblock plus which is located in settings.
