I've explained several times upthread why this could be so. You and certain other posters are focusing on the "too big SD cards and their manufacturing issues" part when the real point is that a newbie could very well and sensibly WANT to use NOOBS/PINN instead of a straight Raspbian boot. Yes, I know that is a 3rd party download, but, as I say, it is advice commonly given here.īut note that this is all missing the point. In this case, we only show the client setup on Firefox Browser, which allows us to use a proxy without setting a system-wide proxy. It consists of a Linux core with a UI provided by Gecko - essentially a Linux hosted Firefox browser.

You can also install Thunderbird on Raspberry Pi which is an official email-client from Mozilla to work with the Iceweasel browser. But when you use/need a low power Raspberry Pi setup, then this smaller packaged Raspberry Pi Firefox will work great. Alternatively you can use Firefox or Chromium browser. So, its impossible to get Google Chrome on Raspberry Pi.
But on the other hand Google Chrome is only available for AMD64 CPU architecture. Now we have a small effort from Mozilla to make it run on one of the most successful budget devices in the world - the Raspberry Pi. You may find it a little bit slower than the other default Raspberry Pi web browsers. Raspberry Pi4 uses 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 processor, thus, all the applications running on it must be for ARM64. Now, we move on to the client configuration, which can be done on any client machine you’d like to access the Web using proxy server setup on the Pi. Firefox OS hasnt taken over the world yet despite its promise.

(Don't bother arguing - if you don't get it, you don't get it)Īlso, note that the a piece of commonly-given-and-thus-one-might-say-standard advice given here is to download and use the "SD card association formatting tool" and that allows you to format it FAT32. Configure Firefox Browser to User Raspberry Pi as Proxy. I do it all the time - using only standard Windows-provided tools. But it is available in the official package repository of Raspbian. Which is the only option Windows' format tool will give you if the SD card is over a certain size Firefox is not installed by default on Raspbian operating system.
