Google Chrome is finally available for Apple’s new Macs with its M1 chip after a few roadblocks. The company had to pause the rollout yesterday after many users complained about app crashes.
Now that Apple’s ARM-powered PCs have arrived, developers are retooling their software to run natively on the M1 CPU instead of relying on Rosetta 2 emulation. For many of us, Google Chrome is the program we use the most, and according to tweets from the team, you should be able to get an optimized version of the software shortly.
