Google Chrome For Mac M1

Last week, Apple finally unveiled its new ARM-powered Macs, and now they're hitting the market. That also means that it's time for app developers to start optimizing their apps for it. In fact, it's not such a simple task. Apps need to be recompiled for the new architecture, lest they deal with the performance impact of running in Apple's Rosetta 2 emulation.

Google released its ARM64 Chrome browser today, and when downloading the browser, you'll be presented with an option to download the Intel or the Apple Silicon version. Since then, Microsoft has also confirmed that its Chromium-based Edge browser is on the way to supporting the Apple M1.

M1 support is in the works, stay tuned 😊

Of course, this is sort of something that app developers have to do. Unlike Microsoft's ARM64 efforts, which feel like more of a side-project, Apple is transitioning its entire lineup to its own custom ARM processors. It's leaving behind Intel completely.

A great example of this is that Google still hasn't released an ARM64 version of Chrome for Windows. And as we exclusively reported over a year ago now, Google has had ARM64 Chrome ready to go on Windows, but it just hasn't released it.

Google Chrome is one of the most powerful and most popular web browsers out there. Since the launch of the browser, it has undergone several changes and has got several new features, making it a leader in its category.

It also comes with support for apps, first-party and third-party both, extending the functionality of the web browser. You can access it quickly by clicking on the Apps button in the bookmarks bar.

However, it just takes up the screen space if you are not using any Chrome Apps and in that case, it can be a bit annoying. The good thing is that you can disable or remove the button from the bookmarks bar. Here is a step-by-step guide for the same.

How To Remove Apps Button From Chrome

Step 1: Open the Chrome browser on your computer. It doesn’t matter if you are using Windows, Mac, or even Linux operating system.

Step 2: In Chrome, right-click anywhere on the Bookmarks Bar or the Apps button itself.

Step 3: Now, in the menu that appears, click on the “Show Apps Shortcut” option to remove the checkmark.

That’s it. The Apps button is no longer visible in the Bookmarks Bar. You can still access the Apps page by entering “chrome://apps” in the address bar. While removing the button from the bar may not seem like a big deal, but if you are not using it, then removing the button gives more space for bookmarks, which is needed if you have a lot of bookmarks on your browser.
