The article title is "Surprise! Google Chrome goes native for Windows on Arm".
This is a non-story. For something as critically used as a web browser, being non-native would be the surprise, especially on the expected many lower-powered devices running the architecture.
- zamadatix 3y agoWell that's the thing, it HAS been a surprise for many years at this point. Chrome has long supported ARM for Linux and supported ARM for macOS for a few years now but, while Chromium and derivatives have supported ARM on Windows for many years as well, Chrome itself did not leaving confusion or complication about how to deal with things like auto-updating, Widevine, and sync vs inefficiency via the x86 version. The story is this has finally changed and that is more than a nothingburger headline.
- vetinari 3y ago> Chrome has long supported ARM for Linux Really? Where we can downnload ARM build for Linux? AFAIK, until now, only MacOS had arm64 build. (Chromium is a different matter).
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoI don't know about "normal" desktop Linux, but there have been ARM Chromebooks for years
- zamadatix 3y agoYou won't find a generic .deb/rpm release (that I know of) if that's what you mean. Only the lacros-chrome version for Linux based ChromeOS.
