My home banking system requires Java for logging onto the bank – see https://www.nemid.nu/ for a description of the system (in Danish only).
This worked fine in Chrome under Mac OS X until recently when in suddenly required a new download of the Java plug-in. Unfortunately, Oracle gives me the following message:
Chrome does not support Java 7. Java 7 runs only on 64-bit browsers and Chrome is a 32-bit browser.
If you download Java 7, you will not be able to run Java content in Chrome and will need to use a 64-bit browser (such as Safari or Firefox) to run Java content within a browser. Additionally, installing Java 7 will disable the ability to use Apple Java 6 on your system.
Note that I cannot uninstall Java 7 from my Mac as this is used for my job.
What can I do now – besides using Safari for my home banking? I cannot find a 64-bit Chrome and although Chrome should support it, there does not seem to be any plans for an official release.

I noticed a workaround mentioned in the Chrome forum.
you can temporarily re-enable the Apple-provided Java SE 6 applet plug-in and Web Start functionality which supposedly can let you re-use java 6 again in chrome.
Found via Chrome forum thread "Where can i download Chrome 64-bit?"
