they probably meant desktop. i do browser test automation (selenium, vibium), and the lack of google chrome on arm64 trips up new users frequently. the workaround is to just use chromium, but that's a confusing extra step for some if it's not automated and hidden for you.

on that note, it would have been nice if they also clarified if this means they'll be shipping an official "chrome for testing" for arm64 linux, too.

Don't most people use chromium instead of chrome anyways on Linux?

most people just click the "internet" button and use whatever was already pre-installed.

		I meant Linux users and chromium is the one that's already in the repos and doesn't need extra work. The default browser in most distros is Firefox

Yes, and the last thing we need is Google's cancer spreading to Linux.
