ARM64 browsers images do not contain any browser

[cedmail]

When using latest browsers images, there is no browser installed on ARM64

Looking at the image size on docker hub we see a huge discrepancy in size 800MB for AMD64 200MB for ARM64
Please either do not flag/generate ARM64 image or embed the browsers

Hello,
I get the same error for my macbook with M1 chip as your.

Also when I run the command:
docker run -it -v $PWD:/e2e -w /e2e --entrypoint=cypress cypress/included info

I get the message about no known browsers installed

Just to clarify - the docker image cypress/included must includes pre-installed both Chrome and Firefox browsers correct?

I think we'd be willing to consider a contribution to address this provided viable native binaries for all supported browsers are available for ARM64, but the best approach at this point might be to rely on the new cypress/factory image which allows you to build the exact set of OS + Node + Cypress + Browser(s) that you need for your environment
