This isn't really an Infra issue, but a product decision about whether or not those platforms are worth supporting. It doesn't look like we have a Product/Program Management component for these sorts of things, so adding some people who might have thoughts.

Looking at the current data on https://popcon.debian.org/ amd64: 165920 i386: 33100 all ARM variants combined: 1050 https://popcon.ubuntu.com/ also shows low ARM numbers relative to x86.

+Rachel for a product decision about desktop support.

Re: #4, looking at mainstream distro numbers might not give an accurate reflection of actual arm usage, since I suspect a lot of these devices are running things like raspbian or armbian, which probably aren't counted by popcorn. That said, the number of arm users, or even more specifically, the number of people running web browsers on these devices, probably is very very low relative to x86 usage.

No longer on the Chrome team, e-mail me @google.com if any attention still required from me here, otherwise good luck! |
