When reporting this package as outdated make sure there is indeed a new version for Linux Desktop. You can have a look at the «Stable updates» tag in Release blog for this. Do not report updates for ChromeOS, Android or other platforms stable versions as updates here.

This package will automatically get updated as soon as the Debian package is available. This is checked at least once per hour.

Thanks for updating!

@FabioLolix Thanks for the ping! I suppose I marked that read, got distracted and never re-visited that PR… I’m very sorry about that! Will take care about it this evening!

FabioLolix commented on 2021-10-05 20:45

Hello, do you mind adding a copy of widevine license in the default place? The PR have been open for 10 months yet is so trivial, since I made the PR you made part of it (replacing msg2 with printf), just copy the other 2 line too

If you’re having trouble with «use system titlebar and borders» setting, you can just wait for patch to come. For details, please refer to https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/3133066

Since version 92/93 I’ve been having 5-second freezing issues on AMD iGPU Ryzen 4000. Does anyone know how to fix this? I’ve tried disabling all hardware acceleration but it doesn’t help.

michaldybczak commented on 2021-09-24 19:44

Thanks @zeparu, I have the same problem with titlebar. Disabling this flag restores titlebar in Plasma, however, the whole option of turning SSD on/off is gone. It works for me, but the underlying issue is still there. The option stopped working.

just updated today, and «use system titlebar and borders» is not working anymore for me on kde

Google Chrome is a world-wide very popular browser. Google Chrome is not an open-source project, hence chrome is not preinstalled on Linux systems.

Install Google Chrome on Arch Linux

In this article, I will show you how to install the latest version of Google Chrome on Arch Linux. Let’s get started.

Though Google Chrome is not available for download on the official website of Google Chrome, the good news is that Google chrome is available on AUR (Arch User Repository). But to install Google Chrome from AUR you must have Git installed.

Git is available on the official Arch Linux repository. Just run the following command to install Git on Arch Linux:

Press ‘y’ and then press to continue.

Git should be installed.

Now go to the official Google Chrome AUR repository at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/google-chrome/ and you should see the following page as shown in the screenshot below.

Now right click on the Git Clone URL as shown in the screenshot below.

Select “Copy Link Location” from the menu as shown in the screenshot below.

Now open a Terminal and go to the Downloads/ directory on your users HOME directory with the following command:

Now you have to clone the AUR Google Chrome repository with Git.

Run the following command to clone Google Chrome AUR repo with Git:

The Google Chrome AUR repository should be cloned as shown in the screenshot below.

Now if you list the contents of Downloads/ directory with the following command, you should see a directory ‘google-chrome’

Go into the ‘google-chrome’ directory with the following command:

If you list the contents of ‘google-chrome’ directory, you should see the following files as shown in the screenshot below.

Now you have to build a package file for pacman package manager from these files. It is really easy to do so as Arch Linux provides a command line utility called ‘makepkg’ for that purpose.

Run the following command to make a pacman package file:

Press ‘y’ and press to continue.

‘makepkg’ should download all the necessary files from the internet. It may take a while depending on your internet connection. In the screenshot below, you can see that ‘makepkg’ downloaded google-chrome-stable version 63 at the time of this writing. You may get a later version. But it’s all the same, don’t worry.

The package building process is running…

Once the package build process is complete, you should see something like this. If you list the contents of the google-chrome directory now, you should see a file google-chrome-63.0.3239.108-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz as marked in the screenshot below. This is the package that ‘makepkg’ created. By the time you read this article, the generated filename might change. Make sure, you adjust it as required.

Now run the following command to install the google-chrome-63.0.3239.108-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz package file using pacman package manager:

Press ‘y’ and then press to continue.

The Google Chrome package should be installed.

Now go to the Application Menu of your Desktop Environment and look for google chrome. I am using GNOME3 desktop environment in this article. Once you find Google Chrome, just click on the famous Google Chrome icon.

You should see the following window as you’re running Google Chrome for the first time. If you wish to make Google Chrome your default browser, just leave the first checkbox marked. If you don’t want to send anonymous usage statistics and crash reports to Google, just uncheck the second checkbox. Once you’re done, just click on the blue “OK” button.

Google Chrome should start. Enjoy the internet as much as you like with Google Chrome now.

So that’s how you install the latest version of Google Chrome on Arch Linux. Thanks for reading this article.

How to Install Google Chrome in Arch-based Linux Distributions

Last updated August 15, 2020 By Dimitrios 38 Comments

Brief: A step-by-step beginner’s tutorial showing how to install Google chrome in Arch, Manjaro and other Arch-based Linux distributions.

Google Chrome is undeniably the most popular web browser. It is not open source software and this is why you won’t see it preinstalled in Linux distributions you use. You won’t even find Chrome in the software center.

Installing Google Chrome is easy in Ubuntu and Fedora based distribution. You can go to Chrome’s website and download the DEB or RPM installer files and install it easily.

Arch Linux users may notice that there is no package for them on the official Google Chrome website.

Fortunately, Google Chrome is available on Arch User Repository (AUR) for Arch, Manjaro and other Arch-based Linux distributions. You can install Google Chrome using an AUR Helper easily or use Git to install it without AUR helper.

I will cover both options in this tutorial.

Method 1: Installing Google Chrome with an AUR Helper

I hope that you are familiar with the concept of AUR (Arch User Repository) and AUR helpers. If not, please read our articles on what is AUR and what are AUR helpers and how to install them.

Step 1: Install an AUR helper (if you haven’t got one already)

There are quite a few AUR Helpers to choose but in this tutorial, I will use yay which I have installed on my machine. You should install it if you haven’t got it already:

Step 2: Install Google Chrome using AUR helper

Now, to install Google Chrome in Arch Linux using yay:

As you see, yay found all the available packages related to Google Chrome. I will choose the stable package to install, the same as I chose for the other installation method.

Step 3: Upgrading Chrome version with yay

You successfully installed Chrome on your Arch-based distribution. However, you should also know what to do if there is a new version of Google Chrome available.

You cannot upgrade AUR packages with pacman command unfortunately. But the good thing is that Yay and pacman share common flags for performing similar actions.

The following command will upgrade all the packages – both AUR and official.

Method 2: Install Google Chrome without an AUR Helper

You’ll still be getting the package from Arch User Repository. However, instead of AUR helper, you’ll be doing it manually.

Step 1: Install base-devel package

To install a package from AUR you must have Git and base-devel group installed. Base-devel group contains all the essential tools for compiling from source.

Step 2: Install Chrome from AUR

Clone Google Chrome from the AUR and install it like this:

Step 3: Upgrading Google Chrome afterward

When a new version of Google Chrome is released and it is available in the AUR, you can upgrade it manually like this:

Conclusion

As you can see, it is slightly complicated to install Google Chrome in the Arch domain. But that’s the beauty of it. Many people use Arch because it gets you doing more things in the terminal.

If you encountered any difficulty when you try to install Google Chrome, let us know at the comment section or share your thoughts.
