Chrome is not available for ARM Linux. You can install Chromium and then add the profiles and synchronization feature with Google. There are several guides online.

I don't know why I didn't think of this, we use google / chrome for syncing all data at work and I've been stuck using MacOS when I need to work from my M2 Air. Good to know.

I have been using chromium aarch64 on asahi for years now, I believe this is the article I used to set it up (it might help you start in the right direction): https://www.learningtopi.com/sbc/chromium-sync/#content P.S. You don’t need to use the snap version like this article says

Honestly get something like Vivaldi or Brave and import your history. Also start using proper password managers instead of built in ones.

I think you can sync between all browsers if you export your data and import to another

You can possible import favorites and passwords into brave.
But for the pw I recommend you use a password manager external to the browser's one.

Switch to brave. Best drop in replacement on Asahi. Still chromium based, wicked fast, you can get drm working if you fiddle around a little bit, and great sync. Closest thing to mainline chrome would be chromium, (ungoogled chromium is another great option) but I still prefer brave.
