We’ll go through how to install Google Chrome on Ubuntu 24.04|22.04|20.04 in this post. Google Chrome is a web browser for Linux, Windows, Android, and iOS that was created by Google. With Google’s smarts built-in, the Chrome browser is designed to be simple, safe, and quicker than its alternatives.

Here are the cool features provided by Google Chrome:

• In Chrome, instead of having distinct input boxes for the search and address bars, Google has combined them. Google also threw in some historical context.
• Chrome comes with its own Task Manager, which displays how much memory and CPU each tab and plug-in consumes. From within Chrome, press Shift-Esc to access it.
• Chrome has an Incognito mode that allows users to visit websites without saving anything from their session, such as history, form fields, or cookies.
• You can move a tab into its own window and back to the main window in Chrome.
• Google Docs, Salesforce.com, and Outlook Web Access are some of the current Web applications. Chrome makes it simpler to make those apps feel more like desktop applications.
