Chromesupports a number of different release channels. We use these channels toslowly roll out updates to users, starting with our close to daily Canarychannel builds, all the way up to our Stable channel releases that happen every6 weeks roughly.
The release channels for chrome range from the most stable and tested (Stablechannel) to completely untested and likely least stable (Canary channel). Youcan run all channels alongside all others, as they do not share profiles withone another. This allows you to play with our latest code, while still keeping atested version of Chrome around.
Note: Early access releases (Canary builds and Dev and Beta channels) willbe only partly translated into languages other than English. Text related to newfeatures may not get translated into all languages until the feature is releasedin the Stable channel.
Before you switch, you should make a backup of your profile (bookmarks, mostvisited pages, history, cookies, etc). If you ever want to switch back to a morestable channel, your updated profile data might not be compatible with the olderversion.Make a copy of the User Data\Default directory (for example, copy it to'Default Backup' in the same location). The location depends on your operatingsystem:
Google Chrome is extremely popular with our readers, but did you know that they also have a 64-bit version of the browser these days? Here's how to tell which version you are running, and how to switch if you aren't.
If you aren't sure what the difference between 64-bit and 32-bit Windows is, you should probably read our article on that subject first, but if you have a fairly new computer there's a good chance you are running 64-bit Windows.
Assuming you don't require a lot of older plugins in your browser, you should probably at least think about using the 64-bit version of Google Chrome -- the only real issues so far are that the 64-bit version doesn't support the older 32-bit plugins that the 32-bit version has always supported.
The benefits, however, are speed, security, and stability. The 64-bit version shows a 15 percent increase in video rendering, 25 percent improvement in loading times, and it supports DirectWrite on Windows. The addition of ASLR (address space layout randomization) improves security against many types of zero-day attacks, and the 64-bit version crashes about half as often as the 32-bit version did.
In order to check whether you are using a 32 or 64-bit version or Google Chrome, you will need to open your browser, which we'll assume is already open because you are reading this article, and then go to the menu and choose "About Google Chrome." You could also go to the About section of the settings.
It's a been a while since last time I used this forum, but here I am to report my issue logging in on the Evernote plug-in of my recent Chrome versions of my Windows 10 to save notes off the articles I read from there etc. I thought at first it was password issue (which I did change just now) or 2FA bug but both didn't seem to be there when I logged on Evernote Web thru that Chrome of the same notebook where I also own Evernote app there, well, web version of it DID go thru fine. App is fine on both phone and notebook. But why is it only plugin it won't send me to next page after typing in my password now and then, yes it is a sign-in kinda pop-up of its plugin? It will just send me back to square one to type my password again and again (then password previously and now with current one), being silent as if I didn't do anything in the first place. And no, my notebook specs are running fine too. What should I do, other than reporting this bug to Evernote? Chrome Windows browser version is of 114.0.5735.199 (official build, 64-bit).
I'm not absolutely clear how to reproduce your experience. In general, if the web clipper plug in isn't working, a good first step is to uninstall the plug in then reinstall and try again. Have you tried that?
I am using the same version of Chrome 114.0.5735.199 (official Build, 64-bit), which is reporting as the current version and like @agsteele, I am unable to reproduce this behaviour. I would also advise trying to uninstall and reinstall the Web Clipper.
Umm to answer both @agsteele and @bmcl26, I did try uninstalling and reinstalling Web Clipper several times but this issue remains present. When Chrome was at zero tabs in a time and multiple tabs in different time, it is same, I cannot do anything with that unlogged Web Clipper so I have to resort to phone version of Chrome to have them clipped by Evernote Android app. I am at a loss as to what to do, and I do not really like the last resort of having that Chrome Windows uninstalled and reinstalled for this issue over my currently open tabs... And no, I am not on VPN for that notebook.
Do you have other plug ins installed? Occasionally plug-ins conflict. It can be worth disabling all plug-ins and then re-enabling the web clipper. If it then works you can experiment until you identify the conflict.
I now did just look into them, and I decided to uninstall some unused plugins like torrent checker and a few failed vpn ones. And redid Evernote plugin as in uninstalled and reinstalled it. No getting out (no exit, force close, nor restart etc) of Chrome Windows app yet. And tried to log in on that login pop-up, it did let me go thru to next page which is 2FA verification, and now I'm all settled. Thank you @agsteele and @bmcl26 for replies, this was surely a headache for weeks over it.
The users will not notice any difference according to this: -64-bit-vs-32-bit-for-windows-is-64-bit-worth-installing/ . If you are keen to do it, put in on a departments PCs first and see how it goes. If no complaints roll it out.
As far as determining if an installation of Chrome is 32-bit or 64-bit: It has gotten much more difficult without some fairly customized scanners. There used to be a registry value that could be queried to determine the Chrome architecture but that vanished over a year ago. The Chrome team removed it around the same time that they highly encouraged the arch of Chrome to match the arch of the OS.
In order to improve stability, performance, and security, users who are currently on 32-bit version of Chrome, and 64-bit Windows with 4GB or more of memory and auto-update enabled will be automatically migrated to 64-bit Chrome during this update. 32-bit Chrome will still be available via the Chrome download page."

Thanks, yes I tried all the steps in chrome extension troubleshooting. Basically the suggestion is to turn tracing, which is what I did, and included in my original post. However, that tracing info did not help me in determining the root cause.
I have the latest .net version
Hi Steve,
I could only reproduce the error logs you posted on the chrome extensions page, but not on a webpage e.g.
www.google.com . It could be a permission blocking eval.call for the website you are trying to automate. Can it generate selectors for
google.com?
Was this issue ever solved? I have seen multiple posts on this issue and no apparent solutions. What exactly is the issue and how can it be resolved? This is extremely frustrating. Is UiPath taking this issue seriously?
I have gone as far as to reinstall my entire OS, managed to get the extension to work, but as soon as I clear browser data (which is a part of my development and the automation I am building) I am back at square one. Is there something I am missing? Is there a setting I have not accounted for? I am extremely confused as to why this is continuing to happen.
Linux was the first to get a 64 bit version of Chrome followed by Mac. Windows was always third priority for Chrome developers and hence almost any windows user as of this writing should be on 32 bit chrome. Also the chrome website by default shows the 32 bit download link.
If you are newly installing chrome or want to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit, both involves installing the 64 bit version. If you already have the 32 bit version on your PC, chrome installer will overwrite the files and replace it with the 64 bit version.
To install, just visit this 64 bit chrome download link and click the download button. Run the downloaded installer and follow the instructions that comes up. You can verify the 64 bit installation by opening chrome and loading "chrome://chrome".
