  Actually google-chrome is built from chromium sources...an 
open-source project. Google just decided
it would bother compiling the 32-bit sources anymore.  I don't know who 
supplies Chromium for
Debian but I imagine 32 and 64 bit is available. I wiped my 32 bit 
stretch/sid partition this past weekend
to install 64 bit so I could access google-chrome again.  Looks the same 
to me :)
