How to install Google Chrome on new Macs with the M1 chip Turns out, it’s super easy, and the results you see after installing are immediately noticeable.

This is the wrong version, and I needed to get the faster and better version installed on my machine. Image: Twitter / I had Chrome installed on my Intel-based Mac, the previous version of Chrome was ported over to this new MacBook. I literally never knew this existed, even though it’s been covered pretty extensively. Apparently, Google has its own version specifically designed for Macs with the M1 chip. It turns out I was running the wrong version of Chrome. I was pretty much getting the same experience I had on my older 2015 MacBook. So far, so good.īut one thing I noticed when running Google Chrome was that it wasn’t as fast as I thought it should be. I finally got my hands on Apple’s latest MacBook Pro with the M1 Max chip. It can run natively on Intel-based Macs and Apple Silicon (M1 and future versions).

UPDATE 5:32 PM ET: Google now offers a universal version of Google Chrome.
