Chromium appears to be broken on ARMv7 as well. See this thread: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=349522&sid=c5ddbea73600ce539308fa5e89243a23

While updating our Pi 1Bs (specifically they're labelled "2011.12") to the 2022-01-28 release of Raspberry Pi OS we found that neither Firefox nor Chromium.
For context: we weren't using the 2022-04-04 image as it was a) too big for the 4G SD cards we have and b) requires interactive setup we haven't yet worked around (see https://github.com/PeterJCLaw/srcomp-kiosk/issues/9).
Our initial investigation (of Firefox) was of the "Illegal instruction" error that that yields, leading to https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=263051; though while that thread seems to conclude correctly that the architecture was the issue there isn't a resolution. None of the alternative browsers proved suitable (we tried those at https://www.fossmint.com/web-browsers-for-raspberry-pi/).
However it looks like the issue is that Raspberry Pi OS has moved to third party builds of Chromium & Firefox which no longer support the older Pis:
Surprisingly the error we got from Chromium wasn't the Illegal instruction error that those issues noted:
