Wrong assumption of Chrome exec path on Apple Silicon M1

[kenny-y]

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.

and I almost wanted to remount my root as writable to link the chromium browser binary in /usr/bin. Still not fixed.
