However there are reported some issues with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 128MB GPU and I can confirm it also. If you download the latest, as for now 121, Chromium will be installed but no visible window content could be seen. Instead I downloaded stable 114 version which run just fine. Probably you could run more recent version but put some additional settings regarding GPU.

Few words about Chromium 114 itself. It run just fine, but it makes MacBook struggle a little bit, it gets extremely hot. I even wonder if it would get on fire 🙂
