Google introduces Chrome Remote Desktop for iOS

Google has finally ported its Chrome Remote Desktop for iOS. And just like the Android counterpart, the iOS version will let you control your computer from your iPhone or iPad. It will also let you give your friend temporary access to your desktop, which could be of help when you need some troubleshooting. Make sure you set up remote access via the Chrome Remote Desktop app from the Chrome Web Store.

The app is slowly trickling out per region on Apple’s App Store, so wait a bit if it hasn’t made its way to you yet.

Chrome 64-bit support for Windows now out of beta

Google has officially taken its 64-bit support for Microsoft Windows out of beta. This means the browser is now part of the regular stable release of Chrome. What would this mean for you? The browser increases graphics and media performance as well as decodes YouTube clips 15% faster. That’s incentive enough to update, we think. You can find the source link below.

Google introduces 64-bit version of Chrome

Want to squeeze out a bit more juice from your Google Chrome browser and have a 64-bit Windows 7 or 8 machine? Google has just released a 64-bit version of the browser. It promises to boost speeds by up to 25 percent and better security for 64-bit Windows 8 devices. According to the Chromium blog, the Canary and Dev channels of Chrome already have it. The Chromium team even goes so far to suggest that the 64-bit Dev version is more stable than 32-bit Chrome. We would recommend you get it through Dev channel though as Canary is a relatively new build without much internal testing done.
