Exactly why I stopped using chrome whe Google dropped support for
32-bit Linux. It's sttill installed, and I still use it for pages that
have no security implications, such as file:/// pages I create myself.
But for the wider web, no way.

I haven't yet found a good substitute. firefox mostly works; there
seem to be things it diesn't do (but midori dies), and it's way too
slow for mathjax-heavy documents.
