What’s the difference? Chrome or Chromium?Ĭhrome is Google’s proprietary browser.
Whether your main home machine is Ubuntu-powered, or you use Ubuntu at work, or even if you’re using a Ubuntu virtual machine via VirtualBox or WINE, you’ll need a separate install.Ĭhrome isn’t in the standard Ubuntu repositories, though Chromium is. But to see how websites and apps look on Linux machines, you need to use one. That’s made easier by Chrome’s extensive suite of developer tools. With its market share edging up into the mid-sixties for both desktop and mobile users, developers need to build and test for Chrome. Plus, for many developers, Chrome is obligatory for work. And only Chrome has built-in support for Flash (though after 2020, that will change as Chrome deprecates that support due to security concerns).
It’s a good idea to have more than one web browser, in case of errors, crashes, or glitches. It handles browsing, streaming, security, and privacy just fine.īut Chrome might still be your preference. Wget -qO - | sudo gpg -dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/googlechrome-linux-keyring.gpgĮcho "deb stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt//google-chrome.Most Ubuntu users rely on Firefox, which is an excellent browser with plenty of features. We download and add the repositories key: We accept the installation by pressing the key TĪfter installation, Chrome is already visible on the system:Īt the beginning, we raise our powers by command: Sudo gdebi google-chrome-stable_current_b We run the installation with the gdebi command once with sudo privileges and enter our user password We run the terminal and go to the downloads folder: We start the browser and go to the chrome page. Installation is very easy, just follow a few steps. We will install it in two ways both by the gdebi manager and the console. Another Linux tutorial is how to install Google Chrome on Debian 11.
