In all honesty, you probably aren't going to get too much out of running a 64 bit browser over regular Chrome (or whatever).

You could get development 64 bit firefox for windows, but, unless you're a dev or are willing to deal with in development software...also I'm guessing many of your plugins wont work since it sounds like 64 bit firefox is nowhere near ready for prime time. Unless you're running Linux in which case it sounds like there's a 64 bit version on the Mozilla FTP you can grab.

Granted this is all from googling for a few minutes.

looks like all th plugins work with a couple different 64 bit versions of firefox and they also get updated, so...

Was wondering if anyone have personal experience with one.

Opera or IE for Windows. Or Waterfox.

Why do you feel the need for a 64 bit browser?

Waterfox has worked well for me, although I use the portable version.

All extensions I use work, as they are not platform specific. Plugins are a different story. The 64-bit Java, Adobe Flash and Silverlight have all worked fine for me. I find Waterfox is preferable on a Windows 7 64 bit system to the 32 bit Firefox.

I tend to use Chrome mostly now, mainly because I find it renders pages and images more clearly for my tastes.

Waterfox is awesome. GNU browsers FTW.
