  1. Instead of downloading and install google chrome, you can install Google chormium (stripped version of chrome) from ubuntu software center.

    1. Thanks Sameer, for your valuable comment …you are right but I think google chrome has more advanced features like Video and audio tags, and it’s more better for desktop users because it’s always tested by developers before release ..so Google Chrome is more stable than it’s base i.e Chromium..
