Wrong assumption of Chrome exec path on Apple Silicon M1

I’ll make this as short as possible since it’s very straightforward (I bet you like it this way for this particular issue)

In Launcher.js:79

        let chromeExecutable = executablePath;
        if (os.arch() === 'arm64') {
            chromeExecutable = '/usr/bin/chromium-browser';
        }
        else if (!executablePath) {

The path provided to puppeteer is: /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome

I’m using ARM64 Node.js v15 compiled by this link: https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/jyfg4m/nodejs_running_native_on_apple_silicon_m1_mac_mini/

Thanks for pointing us all in the right direction, @kenny-y!

        // node_modules/puppeteer-core/lib/cjs/puppeteer/node/Launcher.js L:73
        if (os.arch() === 'arm64' && false) {
            chromeExecutable = '/usr/bin/chromium-browser';
        }

👆 I patched it directly in my node_modules folder. Will do until an official fix comes out.
