US EditionARM64 Linux users finally get Chrome date
Google will launch a native ARM64 Chrome browser for Linux in Q2 2026, addressing user demand and closing a gap versus Chromium, which has long supported ARM64 Linux.
- On Thursday, Google announced Chrome for ARM64 Linux devices arriving in Q2 2026, addressing a long-standing gap in native browser support for ARM-powered Linux hardware.
- Historically, Chromium's build infrastructure was x86-centric, and the Chromium bug tracker request for official ARM64 Linux support was marked "Won't Fix" as recently as late 2024, forcing users to rely on workarounds.
- Full Google account sync, the Chrome Web Store, Google Pay integration and streaming support will arrive on niche ARM64 machines like Nvidia's $4,000 DGX Spark and System76's Thelma Astra.
- With Chrome holding 73.26 percent market share and competitors like Brave and Microsoft Edge lacking official ARM64 Linux builds, adoption on ARM devices is likely to accelerate significantly.
- Google frames the rollout as a commitment to the Linux community and Arm ecosystem, though the timing is notable given Chrome arrived on Apple Silicon in 2020 and Windows on Arm in 2024, while Firefox promoted ARM64 to stable in March 2025.

Over the years, the Arm architecture has managed to attract more and more interest from users and also from companies. It was long ago considered far below x86 in terms of power, but you have already seen what it is capable of today, with very powerful Apple laptops and even mobiles and tablets that can emulate PC games. The future is Arm if you take into account how much it progresses and its great energy efficiency and just as more resources a…
