Please forgive my ignorance, would you be able elaborate please? Chrome says they have native Arm support. What specific part doesn't support Arm?
Thanks
I know chromium does have arm64 builds and that chrome is built for arm64 for windows but not for linux I think. Either way I tried running chrome downloaded by ulixee cloud on arm64 linux machine and it failed with "wrong executable format" or something alike.
I am seeing people say they are running Playwright on Linux Arm64 in Docker so it sounds like it should be possible. Might be something I am missing though.
@EvoTechMike - @xzymxeqgmc is right, unfortunately. Playwright runs chromium, which does have arm builds. Chrome does not produce them for linux, and Chrome is what we use/emulate. You can point at a chromium build, but it doesn't contain a number of chrome features like widevine, as well as a number of other features.
We released this publicly on 2026-07-30. You can download Chrome for linux-arm64 from the Chrome download page at https://google.com/chrome/ (alias https://chrome.com/) and choosing the arm64 .deb or .rpm package.
Downloads are available for Google Chrome across all of our release channels. We’re still working on publishing the Chrome for Testing variant.
This opens up the ability to plan and then implement support for Chrome in this Docker image for the Linux/arm64 architecture.
Verified locally that Google’s *_arm64.deb rebundles to an ARM aarch64 chrome binary (Chrome 151.0.7922.75). A fully working arm64 Cloud image also needs Hero/Cloud on a Chrome major that has arm64 debs (151+); older pins like 139 have no arm64 package.

there are no chrome builds for arm64 so I guess that'd be useless
