HOWTO: Install Google Chrome from the Google repository

[cariboo]

The Chrome install creates a cron job that goes out and checks the Google Chrome repository daily, so there is really no need to add it to your /etc/apt/sources.list

I agree I like the Chromium better, but the one thing I can't do is edit tags without having to right-click and open the editor in another tab. That can get real old after you've done it a dozen or more times a day

If you install the official deb from google, it already adds the google repository to your sources.list.d directory.

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list 
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable main

Opera also does the same.

The difference being that opera repositories work and google does not - apt-get update takes forever and finally times out on the google repositories added by the google chrome install. I have had google chrome installed for a week or two (on three machines) and none pick up the repositories from google (Kubuntu9.10)
