Wait... weren't there many ARM Chromebooks already?

I have been waiting... so many years for this. Like, I figured it would never come. So happy to be wrong. Wonder if it will work well on Raspberry Pi and also if it will come with Hardware Video Acceleration out of the box.

Looking forward to no longer having to patch glibc on my Linux phone just so I can watch YouTube or use Spotify.

Cool. Let’s release Android NDK for Linux arm64 host, too.
Curious; given that ARM Chromebooks are nothing new, I'm surprised that it took them this long to ship it to other Linux distros.

a lot of people seem to not understand what used to go into running chrome on arm64 devices, this blog goes over it pretty well

I'm confused, how does Chrome work on ARM64 Android phones today?

I recently switched to using an NVIDIA Spark as my primary workstation and lack of Chrome binaries for it are what finally pushed me to completely sever my relationship with Chrome and switch to Firefox.

Sorry, Google. Too late!

Nope. Make uBlock Origin work properly again, or gtfo of the browser market.
