The requirement for 64 bit support for SSL VPNs has always required I live a hybrid world on the Mac - browsing with Chrome, and launching 64-bit firefox to connect to VPNs. It will be interesting to see if I can live in an all chrome world if I chose.

Huh, what VPN software do you use that cares about the architecture of your browser? Is this an NPAPI plugin?
Java (Juniper, etc. SSL VPN clients). Java 32-bit was broken/not available/too old/whatever. 64-bit java required a 64 bit browser.
