They have, chromium, the google browser, absolutely cannot be sent to
http://localhost:80 on any arm system here at the Heskett Ranchette. FF can,
but not chromium, its doing a failed advertising lookup on google instead.
My mistake, I'm not a huge chrome fan, its google, spit.
But on armbian jammy its the default browser and you can't change that
either. Amazingly it seems to work normally to localhost6, but there's
nothing there, its all on port 80. So we are forced to use FF which Just
Works for ipv4 addresses.
I don't have Chromium, but I do have Google Chrome installed.

Whatever issue you're seeing, I'm not able to reproduce it. If I run
a service on localhost port 80, and then paste http://localhost:80 into
the URL bar in Chrome (copied directly from your email), it connects
to the localhost service.
Which it should Just Do, but on armbian jammy, no.
unicorn:~$ sudo tcpserver -v 0 80 /usr/bin/printf 'hello world\r\n'
tcpserver: status: 0/40
tcpserver: status: 1/40
tcpserver: pid 473439 from 127.0.0.1
tcpserver: ok 473439 localhost:127.0.0.1:80 localhost:127.0.0.1::45292
tcpserver: end 473439 status 0
tcpserver: status: 0/40
unicorn:~$ grep localhost /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
And I'm 150 miles from the nearest ipv6 access point.
unicorn:~$ grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
There's no conspiracy here. There's no "every few years Debian changes
something and I have to scramble to fix it". This stuff just works, Gene.
For everybody except you.
gene@bpi55:~$ grep localhost /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost bananapim5 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
gene@bpi55:~$ grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files mymachines dns myhostname
Take care & stay well, Greg.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
