Google без официального анонса опубликовала Chrome для Linux на ARM64

В официальном репозитории Google появился нативный пакет Google Chrome для 64-разрядных систем Linux на архитектуре ARM. Стабильную сборку можно загрузить в формате DEB, однако обычная страница загрузки Chrome пока может предлагать пользователям ARM-компьютеров пакет для архитектуры AMD64. Отдельного сообщения о начале распространения новой версии Google также не публиковала.
О планах перенести браузер на ARM64 Linux компания объявила 12 марта 2026 года, пообещав закончить работу во втором квартале. Google объясняла порт растущим спросом со стороны владельцев одноплатных компьютеров, ARM-ноутбуков и рабочих станций, отдельно упомянув NVIDIA DGX Spark. Намеченный срок был пропущен, а готовые пакеты появились в репозитории лишь в конце июля.
