Google has a new version of Chrome designed for Apple Silicon Macs

This week, to coincide with the release of the brand new line of M1 Macs from Apple, the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac mini – Google is releasing a new version of Chrome to run natively on Apple Silicon Macs, with Chrome version 87. Instead of releasing a universal app, Google has chosen to offer two different versions, both offered at the download page.

When you visit the webpage to download Chrome on a Mac, you are offered with the above message as well as a quick guide on how to find out what type of Mac you have if you don’t know. Prior to this release, Chrome would run within Rosetta 2 and be emulated.

Google is also claiming that unlike previous versions of Chrome on macOS this should manage its resources better, be faster and use less battery.
