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. But one thing I noticed when running Google Chrome was that it wasn’t as fast as I thought it should be. I finally just 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). Now that Chrome has an M1-tailored version, Google has made its alternative to Safari more inviting for new Mac owners.UPDATE 5:32 PM ET: Google now offers a universal version of Google Chrome. Since Google Chrome is the number one web browser, it simply must be used for testing. It’s important to double-check that content appears correctly when viewed in different browsers. Another great reason to download Chrome on a Mac is for those developing or publishing to the internet. Log in and suddenly all of the phone bookmarks are there and website logins are auto-filled. Google Chrome is Google Chrome wherever it’s used.
The automatic syncing of bookmarks, passwords, shipping addresses, and payment methods that iPhone users enjoy when using Safari on a Mac flip in favor of Chrome when using an Android phone. However, Google Chrome has a definite advantage for those that use a MacBook or Mac desktop with an Android smartphone. It’s just another browser and one that doesn’t quite fit with Apple's way of doing things.
For most users, there is no need for Google Chrome. Safari integrates better with macOS and other Apple products, such as the iPhone. It has slightly better speed while displaying websites and running web apps virtually the same as Chrome. The pre-installed Apple Safari browser is far more popular than Google Chrome on a Mac. Having the option to download a native version of Chrome may be confusing for many Mac owners.
