Code, yes. But think about it a little first.

Google Chrome on Windows 7 64bit

leave a comment

I use Google Chrome in a peculiar way. I prefer Firefox for browsing on Windows because of some add-ons I cannot live without. But I have found Google Chrome perfect for debugging on the Flex/Papervision3d project that I am currently working on – primarily because of it’s per-tab process, responsiveness and generally low overhead nature.

I decided to try out the Windows 7 beta and since I primarily work off my MacBook Pro, I installed the 64bit version on Fusion. Things went swimmingly except for Chrome which just wouldn’t work. I kept getting told off that Chrome “has known compatibility issues” and if I ignored those warnings, Chrome would scream bloody murder even if I touched it lightly.

Add the “–in-process-plugins” switch to the “Target” of the shortcut for Chrome as in the screenshot below.

You’ll still possibly get those annoying “Has known compatibility issues” warnings but you can choose to turn those off.

Hope this helps.
