How to install Google Chrome Browser on Linux - LinuxConfig.org

Google Chrome is a very popular, yet closed source web browser. This makes it a little tricky to install on a Linux system, as it's pretty much never included by default on any distro, and usually not available for installation from official repositories. Contrast this to Mozilla Firefox, which is open source and ubiquitous across the most popular Linux distros.

If you are a purist, Chromium is open source and there by default in most Linux operating systems. Ubuntu has went to snap only though so if you want a native .deb apt there are ppa’s, or you can use Mint as your OS and avoid snaps.
