The company announced it&#8217;s bringing Chrome to ARM64 Linux machines in Q2 2026, completing its multi-year march across Arm-powered platforms. While you&#8217;ve been able to run Chrome on Linux and Chrome on Arm devices separately, the combination has been conspicuously absent &#8211; until now. The move follows Chrome for Arm Macs in 2020 and Windows on Arm support in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Google just closed a curious gap in its Chrome browser strategy. The company revealed it&#8217;s bringing native Chrome support to ARM64 Linux machines sometime in Q2 2026, addressing what&#8217;s been an awkward hole in its platform coverage for years.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement comes via the official Chromium blog, where Google says the move &#8220;addresses the growing demand for a browsing experience that combines the benefits of the open-source Chromium project with the Google ecosystem of apps and features.&#8221; It&#8217;s a careful statement that doesn&#8217;t reveal whether Google&#8217;s responding to pressure from existing ARM64 Linux users or betting on future adoption.<\/p>\n<p>For developers and Linux enthusiasts running Arm-based systems, this has been a real pain point. You could grab Chrome for traditional x86 Linux machines. You could download Chrome for Arm-powered devices like certain Chromebooks. But if you were running Linux on Arm hardware &#8211; maybe a Raspberry Pi 5, an Ampere Altra developer box, or experimental Arm laptop hardware &#8211; you were stuck with Chromium or other alternatives.
