Install chrome with Arch Linux: How to customize and optimize Chrome for your needs



Fortunately, Google Chrome is available on Arch User Repository (AUR) for Arch, Manjaro and other Arch-based Linux distributions. You can install Google Chrome using an AUR Helper easily or use Git to install it without AUR helper.


On latest endeavouros install, this package isnt working properly, the windows is unreactive and cannot browse anything. After many attemps to solve this issue, luck helped a little.After installing brave from AUR, it seems it helped google-chrome to run.




Install chrome with Arch Linux



Make sites like wiki.archlinux.org and wikipedia.org easily searchable by first executing a search on those pages, then going to Settings > Search and click the Manage search engines.. button. From there, "Edit" the Wikipedia entry and change its keyword to w (or some other shortcut you prefer). Now searching Wikipedia for "Arch Linux" from the address bar is done simply by entering "w arch linux".


In multi-GPU systems, Chromium automatically detects which GPU should be used for rendering (discrete or integrated). This works 99% of the time, except when it does not - if a unavailable GPU is picked (for example, discrete graphics on VFIO GPU passthrough-enabled systems), chrome://gpu will complain about not being able to initialize the GPU process. On the same page below Driver Information there will be multiple GPUs shown (GPU0, GPU1, ...). There is no way to switch between them in a user-friendly way, but you can read the device/vendor IDs present there and configure Chromium to use a specific GPU with flags:


If you tune ccache correctly, a second working directory that uses a branch tracking trunk and is up to date with trunk and was gclient sync'ed at about the same time should build chrome in about 1/3 the time, and the cache misses as reported by ccache -s should barely increase.


  • You can also use dnf/yum options, such as disabling prompts or dry runs, with the provided commands. (Optional) Install any of the following additional components: google-cloud-cli

To install a third-party software package in Arch Linux access the AUR package repository page and search for the package you need to install. In our case, We are going to install Google Chrome in our Arch Linux system.


I would suggest newbies to go with method-1, because this is the easiest way to install chrome web browser on Red Hat based systems. However, Google Chrome does not have the option to upgrade automatically in this method, so it will be in the same version.


Yes very useful ?In Linux OS very thing must be searched in Internetbecause neither always Synaptic is utility. ?All help with Linux is valuable.thanks so much ! Job here in advance !!ps: Open this page already no G.Chrome just installed (:^P


Warning: This method is highly unsafe and should only be used when there is no other option and you already have an advanced understanding of how certain packages work and certain behaviors that Arch expects. For example, some applications (like Plymouth, Virtualbox, etc.) may require hooks into the kernel that can only be done by editing configuration files and re-building the kernel with those hooks. Even more, using this method does not also install the dependencies of your package.


The first part is to install the package noto-fonts-emoji. The parameter --needed is used to only download and install the package, if it's not already installed.The second part is just creating a config file and saving it.The third part with fc-cache is the refresh of the font cache.


I was able to get it to work by putting the local.conf file into /.fonts and running fc-cache without sudo. The only need for sudo is to install the package. Of course putting the file into /.fonts will only work for the local user, I just try to avoid sudo when I can.


@Yochanan, so post chrome 88 i had my vid acceleration working with --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder switch and everything was working fine. However inbetween chrome 90-92, video acceleration has cease to function again.


after advise from a forum user to uninstall and reinstall with fresh config to fix the issue, i found vid. accel. works only the first time you invoke chrome after clearing the config. every subsequent invocation results in vid. accel. being disabled. then after comparing GPU settings in chrome:///gpu page, i found that ozone platform is loaded only successive chrome invokes. disabling ozone (via flag), gets video acceleration back.


Hello, I am trying to download chrome to a raspberry pi3 with debian, and following the steps you indicate, at the time of importing the key with the command signing key chrome sudo apt-key add linux_signing_key.pub it tells me signing: no se found the order2. How can I solve it?


I have installed chrome in my rhel distro in my virtual machine. When I tried setting proxy in the advanced settings in chrome. It displays a message Something gone wrong. The network manager needs to be running.


The date is 19 Aug 2021. The environment I must work in is Centos 7. The latest, stable version of google-chrome is 92.0.4515.159. Other mission software in my environment does not work when chrome v92 is installed. the chrome install upgraded/updated other packages the mission software depends on.


It is important to note that removing chrome may cause issues with other packages that depend on chrome. If you face any problems after removing chrome, please consult your package manager documentation. 2ff7e9595c
