On this page you will learn how to install and download Google Chrome for Ubuntu 18.04 and beyond all for free of course. First of all, lets answer a simple question, what is Google Chrome?
Google Chrome is the now the most popular browser on the web. It is fast, dependable, rarely crashes and it is owned and managed by Google, which for most people, is a good thing. By default Ubuntu 18.04 has the Firefox browser installed which is great but I have to admit, Chrome is the best even on Linux.
