[Solved] How do I trick my internet browser that I’m using 32bit Operating System even it’s a 64bit application

Question

For Google Chrome, you could try clicking on “Other Platforms” near the bottom of the https://www.google.com/chrome/ page, then choose the 32-bit version. If you install and browse with the 32-bit version, you may automatically get offered 32-bit versions of other software.

Another option would be to edit your user agent string. (Updated with more details:) The user agent string is the text that your browser sends to the web server to identify itself, e.g., “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.186 Safari/537.36”. On Chrome, it’s a little convoluted to change, but you can find instructions at: http://technipages.com/google-chrome-change-user-agent-string . This may help, but not if the web servers use some other method to identify your machine as 64-bit.
