I'm trying to use chromedriver for a python program and the latest version requires v70-72. My current version of chromium on raspberry pi is 65.0.3325.181 that was after upgrading and updating my raspberry pi. I read somewhere that chromium v66 and above isn't supported on raspberry pi. Is that true or am I upgrading it wrong? I'm on raspberry pi 3, I have run
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade in terminal so far. Any help is appreciated!
Available as a snap package :
sudo apt-get install snapd
sudo snap install chromium
snap run chromium
However it seems to be rather unstable, and does not appear on the raspberry pi menu system. Complains about missing symbols on startup, and sometimes about the namespace of the mounted snap folder. Snap packages are put together by Canonical and not by Debian or the Raspberry Pi foundation. Typing this in Chromium 71.0.3578.98 on a PI 3.

Most snaps are exclusive to AMD64 architectures, however the Chromium snap will run on Intel32 and armhf (Raspberry PI CPU)

If I can remember, arm support for chromium has been dropped since version 65. So, even by building from sources, you won't be able to used it on your rpi.
Please someone prove me I'm wrong
