Firefox got there first, Chromium was already available, but Chrome's proprietary features were missing on ARM64 Linux.

The New Stack

Google has announced it will launch Chrome for ARM64 Linux devices in Q2 2026, filling a long-standing gap for users of Arm-powered Linux hardware. While the open-source Chromium has been available on ARM64 Linux for years, the full Chrome browser with Google account sync, password manager, Chrome Web Store, Google Pay, and streaming service support (like Netflix) has been absent. Notably, Chrome already shipped for Apple Silicon in 2020 and Windows on Arm in 2024, and a Chromium bug tracker request for ARM64 Linux support was marked 'Won't Fix' as recently as late 2024. Firefox beat Chrome to the platform, launching stable ARM64 Linux builds in March 2025. Google is also bringing Chrome to Nvidia's DGX Spark desktop supercomputer via its software packaging service.
