Apple’s built-in Safari browser may be the most popular among Mac users, but Google’s nearly ubiquitous Chrome is not far behind. Today’s a big day for Chrome users on Mac. The release of Chrome 87 brings a host of oft-requested improvements, but in a surprise move, Google also released a version optimized for the new Macs with Apple silicon.
If you have a Mac with Apple silicon, you’ll be prompted to choose which version you want to download when you go to google.com/chrome. Choose “Mac with Apple chip” to download the .dmg file with the optimized version. Open the file, drag the Google Chrome.app file into your Applications folder, and you’re good to go.
