"Launching Chrome for ARM64 Linux devices allows more users to enjoy the seamless integration of Google's most helpful services into their browser. This move addresses the growing demand for a browsing experience that combines the benefits of the open-source Chromium project with the Google ecosystem of apps and features."
"This release represents a significant undertaking to ensure that ARM64 Linux users receive the same secure, stable, and rich Chrome experience found on other platforms. The lack of an official Chrome build was a puzzling omission and a pain point for administrators of fleets of ARM-based Chromebooks."
Google announced that Chrome will arrive on ARM64 Linux devices in Q2 2026, addressing a long-standing gap in platform support. While Chromium has been available for Linux, the official Chrome browser with Google's integrated services has been absent from ARM64 Linux systems despite existing on ARM64 macOS and Windows. This release aims to provide seamless integration of Google services and enable users to sync accounts, settings, and bookmarks across devices. The move addresses growing demand for combining open-source Chromium with Google's ecosystem. However, some Linux community members remain skeptical due to Chrome's proprietary nature and Google account requirements, despite Chrome's dominant 73.26% market share.
