Developer successfully compiled Chromium for Windows ARM
The developer built and ran Chrome on Windows ARM64. As you can see from the below picture, the Chromium source build version runs on the ASUS ARM64 PC.
The operating system is Windows 10, which is the image that the developer Jeremy Sinclair sent on Twitter. The attached text indicates that it is already on Windows ARM64. Chromium was successfully built and run, and it was pointed out that the opening speed was super fast.

The build version works fine, but there are also problems. For example, Jeremy pointed out an emoji bug. If you watch a small video, you can’t select the drag and drop emoji window.
Trying a commit from 4/2 that got a green light in the build for win32-arm64-rel. Let's see if this builds my Chromium properly. Next tweet in regards to this build process will either be a gif or lots of cursing emojis. pic.twitter.com/JMsQdV4H8t

On the other hand, another developer was inspired by Jeremy to build Chrome on ARM64 Windows devices. He successfully ran the 75.0.3755.0 Chromium developer version on a Windows Phone.

Last year, Microsoft announced the transformation of its own Web browser, the introduction of the new Edge with the Chromium kernel, and the planned and become a major contributor to the Chromium project. It seems that this change has made Google also make Chromium more friendly to the Windows platform.
