How to update the Chrome browser on my desktop computer?

  • 772

I need to update the Chrome browser on my desktop computer to work with the remote debugger on my Samsung Galaxy A 50 (which has version 116.05845.114)

On my desktop computer with kubutu 20.04 I have :

$ uname -a

    From the Linux command line:

    wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

    That will install the latest Google Chrome browser and it will be updated by apt. Hope that helps.

    Note this is for Google Chrome. NOT Chromium.

    If you want chromium just use apt:

    sudo apt update
sudo apt install chromium-browser
