When reporting this package as outdated make sure there is indeed a new version for Linux Desktop. You can have a look at the "Beta updates" tag in Release blog for this.

You can also run this command to obtain the version string for the latest chrome beta version:

$ curl -sSf https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages | \
     grep -A1 "Package: google-chrome-beta" | \
     awk '/Version/{print $2}' | \
     cut -d '-' -f1

The latest release (135.0.7049) is giving me some weird graphic issue. The window is not rendered properly: the custom GTK theme is being applied, but not in the Close/Minimize/Maximize buttons, selection overlay is not blue but grey and it doesn't show the text under it, and there's a few pixel empty line between the tabs/URL/Bookmarks section and the website one (had similar issue in the past with Electron and Ozone, might be related).

The screenshots in this link (first is previous version for comparison) may help visualizing the problems (the only one missing is the latest one, because it's not "capturable" through a screenshot, aka when captured it's just black, while live it's transparent and glitchy and it shows the window behind).

Also, AltGr is not recognized (I'm using it-IT layout, and I cannot input square/curly brackets, at, hash, etc).

Chrome without disabling hwdec would generate an immediate core dump. Disabling hddec (vulkan backend) would let chrome function correctly.

Chrome 125 works for me too. But all 5 releases of Chrome 124 just didn't.

For me google-chrome-beta (125.0.6422.4) shows up normally and as wayland surface (without any switch/config needed), maybe next release will fix this white screen issue ...

Newer version doesn't solve the issue. I'm still facing it.

Latest release seems broken in Wayland.

Chrome does not render at all, and it glitches the UI until you quit it. It also apparently launches only on primary monitor (similarly to Xwayland applications).

Launching it from terminal gives no useful information, so I can't understand what's going on.

Hi, first of all thanks for your effort. I have only one problem using the application. When I create a PWA of a webpage and add as aplication I cannot the icon of it.

I've read this a bug from kde itself and was fixed in an update. I'm using Manjaro Linux with KDE Plasma 5.26.5 Do you know any way to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Latest version 96 does not work on XWayland. The program opens but no window appears. Works if I run it as Ozone/Wayland.
