If you mean 64-bit Chrome (i.e. Canary) then I've been using it as my "main" browser for a year or probably more: It's good, but it does tend to "bog down" a bit and can end up using a whole core to do nothing at all. It needs forcible closing from the Task Manager when that happens.
Only real PITA thing is that it doesn't install as the primary browser - so links from emails and so forth open a new (32 bit chrome) browser which takes entirely too long.

Must be built from the exact 32 bit source then.

You can't make Canary the default browser, but the regular version of Chrome has been available in x64 since v37:

Of course you can make Canary the default browser if you wish so. It just requires you to fumble a bit in the registry.
First link found by Google:
How can I set Google Chrome Canary as the default browser on Windows 8?[^]
The registry configuration might depend a bit on the Windows version, but when I tried it once on Windows 7 I was able to make it my default browser
Note: As the application occasionally (meaning with certain builds, which you get one or more a day) slowed down because they released a special build (so called SyzyASan[^] builds) where you're basically unable to use it. After maybe a month or two of using it, the application refused to start (always crashed during startup) and I wen't back to the Chrome Beta

I recently changed over to the 64-bit flavor (now Version 41.0.2272.53 beta-m (64-bit)); it likes to eat memory, a lot more than the 32-bit flavor, but you can put it on a diet somewhat by trashing all the Extensions you don't use.

Also, I thought he was more famous for making annoying, patronising car insurance commercials than for writing cryptic crossword clues.

Winner stays on - If you get it right then you set it the next day. It's our way of keeping the cCC going while dave tries to get elected.

HU = Hungarian
SS = Merchant Ship
AR = Argentine
HUSSAR = Hungarian light cavalry.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to set this for tomorrow. Nagy can take a second turn, while I'm sailing the Halong Bay.

Nagy is right.
The rules as originally entered did say:
...That person can delegate if work commitments intrude, but the previous winner cannotbe delegated.
So if you can't set it tomorrow, don't enter! :laugh:
...
You will have to find someone else to do it for you - and please, try to be sure you can do it before you answer, or it's not fair on everyone else. (Writing the damn things is harder than it looks)

OK, fair call. Apologies - hadn't seen the rules before...
I'll prepare one now, but I'll have to post it a lot earlier than 09:00 UTC, unless I can PM it to a volunteer to post on time.

If you want, I can post it for you - I'll be around at 09:00, so it's not a problem.
Just use the "email" link on this message, but don't forget the full solution!
