But wait! There is a workaround for this. If you want Chrome on Raspberry Pi, you can install the Chromium browser with nearly the same features. Since Chromium is an open-source version of the original Google Chrome browser, we can use that for installing on our Pi. Due to this, there are some limitations for the usage. For example, you will not be able to use streaming media like Amazon Prime or Netflix using the Chromium browser. Note that the Chromium web browser is already included as a default browser in the desktop version of Raspberry OS Stretch and subsequent versions.
In this section, I will show you the step-by-step procedure to install the Chromium web browser on your Pi. Fortunately, the Chromium is available through the Raspberry Pi OS repository and this will save us a lot of time. But still, it will take a considerable amount of time as the code repository for Chrome has a size of around 10 GB. As usual, before the installation, we have to update the package list. For this use the command below in your terminal.
If you are interested, you can read my detailed guide to update Raspberry Pi. Now run a full upgrade with the below command to update all of the currently installed packages. Once, the full upgrade is completed. We can start installing the Chromium browser with this command.
This will install the Chromium browser and it will be a specially modified and optimized version for Raspberry Pi. Here we have a couple of methods by which we can launch the browser from your Raspberry Pi. Basically there are two options to install it on your Raspberry Pi. As long as you use a Linux distribution Raspbian Wheezy, etc.
For beginners or those who are just interested in installing it quickly, the first way is more recommended. Alternatively you can install the package chromium-browser instead of chromium. If you are connected through SSH or not using the graphical user interface, you should start startx. Otherwise you can also establish a remote desktop connection. If you want to compile the Raspberry Pi Chrome Chromium Browser yourself, visit their Google Source repository where you can also check the code.
The code is not available on GitHub, but that makes no difference for cloning and compiling the repository. But you should know that the files to download are about 15 gigabyte after installing in fact 22 GB.
This is why I recommend the first option, if you only want to install it quickly. Next, we clone the whole repository to a specific folder, which we create and then go into this directory. Now you can check out the needed files about 15 GB. Make sure that your micro SD card 32GB or more has enough empty disk space. Depending on your internet speed this step can take a while. After finished downloading all files, you can compile the project. If you have any problems while compiling it, please visit the chromium website first.
According to Wikipedia the most of the code of Chrome is contained also in Chromium, except of components like the Flash Player. The title should not say Chrome because it is not Chrome, it is misleading. They are not exactly the same. For exacmple, you cannot run tv. Because of the Flash requirement none of the channels will play on Raspberry Pi using Chromium. Please change the title to say Chromium and not Chrome.
I am looking for a screen scraper to pull data from my solar panels every 5 minutes and load it into a spreadsheet. I know I can do it with my desktop but I would rather do it with a PI,. I found both V78 and V83 — choosing V83 and Apply got me a very usable browser albeit I had had trouble with that version which is why I tried V In any case, after going from 78 to 83, I am very pleased. I already have the screen and everything. Please send me the easiest way in how to operate and install an OS in my rpi4B.
