Google updates Chrome for Windows with a 64-bit version and support for high-dpi displays

google_chrome


Until now users of the Windows version of Google Chrome have had to perform registry hacks or other convoluted methods to get the popular browser to support their high resolution displays. A bizarre oversight seeing as its been two years since they brought support to Apple’s high-dpi Retina displays. Thankfully Google have released version 37 of Chrome for Windows bringing support for high-dpi displays, and official (and stable) 64-bit support. If that wasn’t enough they also included support for Microsoft’s DirectWrite technology which smooths out fonts and should make the overall browsing experience less taxing on the eyes.



Google also notes that the update brings speed and security improvements to 64-bit users and invites users to download the update at the Google Chrome download page. If you plan to try the 64-bit version don’t forget to opt in before downloading. Hit the source for the full list of changes and let us know in the comments what you think of the update.
