- Official Google Chrome build is now available for Arm64 Linux devices, including the Raspberry Pi, after being promised in March.
- The Arm64 builds were added to Google's official Linux repos for Debian and RPM-based distributions; installation works by replacing 'amd64' with 'arm64' in the download URL.
- The native Arm64 Chrome includes Google account sync and a bundled Widevine DRM module for media playback, but DRM is limited to software-based (720p/1080p) without 4K or HDR.
- Performance on Raspberry Pi 5: YouTube 1080p and 2K play smoothly, 4K suffers due to hardware limits; BBC iPlayer works well compared to Firefox Snap.
- There is no official announcement yet, and the Chrome support pages do not mention Arm64 Linux support, so users should consider it possibly in testing.
- The build is available as a .deb package for Debian/Ubuntu and likely an RPM for Fedora; future updates will come through standard repos.
