Oh hell yeah! I’ve been dying to install a browser that doesn’t support uBlock Origin.
“Google Chrome is finally coming to ARM64 Linux”…
… said no one ever
So what? Most people are using Linux for the privacy benefits. Does privacy sound like a good reason to use Chrome?

Ok. Wait 1 week, if I haven’t provided the citation … wait another week. 😍

I’m honestly regularly shocked at how many people use Chrome on Linux. Turns out many people actually use Linux for the user experience and flexibility, and not for privacy.

I generally prefer to run firefox (ESR) on my debian machines. But I regularly open a couple dozen tabs during a research session and sometimes FF eats eat all my RAM (16GB), then swap, then locks up the machine. If I catch the degradation before lockup sometimes I can kill enough tabs to recover. I had a few of those lockups last month before I got tired of it.
So for now I’ve swapped back to chromium to get around that problem. Same behavior on my part, ~same extensions, but chromium’s RAM usage stays sane.
Really? I’ll admit to being shocked as well.
This is all sorts of wrong
What is wrong? Publishing on ARM? I don’t understand why this post received so many downvotes
Because Google sucks.
And because chrome is not FOSS.
True, but not all Linux is FOSS, even though there is some significant overlap.
Duck that
This is good even if you don’t care about Chrome, because it means Widevine should become properly supported on the platform.
I had to look that up, it’s the DRM system you need for most streaming services, like e.g. Netflix.
Wikipedia page says though, that it is also integrated in Firefox?
Chrome is dead
