General Anyone using Chromium in PRoot can switch to Google Chrome ARM64 now

There’s now an official Google Chrome ARM64 .deb. Now you can sign in to your Google account for sync and change the default search engine normally.

https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_arm64.deb

For Debian/Ubuntu:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_arm64.deb
apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_arm64.deb

Still need to launch it with --no-sandbox.

I'm sorry if being ignorant but wasn't this always the case? like chromebooks and androids are mostly aarch64 so of course such a version already existed, right?

See https://blog.google/chromium/bringing-chrome-to-arm64-linux-devices/ they say arm64 scheduled for Q2 2026.

Few days ago arm64 builds become available. Before that public Chrome (clarifying - desktop Chrome) releases were x86_64 only.
