How to install Google Chrome and Chromium on Linux Ubuntu

Google Chome is one of the most popular web browsers right now.Unfortunately installing it on Linux can be tricky.So, here is a guide on how to properly install Google Chrome 50 and Chromium (Chrome's open-source alternative) on Ubuntu (and Ubuntu based systems like Lubuntu, etc) and Linux Mint.

 The first thing we need to do in order to install Chrome is to add in our system the Google Chrome repository.
So we open up Terminal and type in the following commands: 



$ wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add - 

$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list' 

Then we type in the following commands to install/upgrade Chrome: 

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable

And that's it.Now let's see how we can install Chromium, the open-source version of Chrome.Its pretty straightforward, the only thing we have to do is type in the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
