  3. Google Chrome and Chromium arent the same thing.
    "The Chromium projects include Chromium and Chromium OS, the open-source projects behind the Google Chrome browser and Google Chrome OS, respectively."

    If you want to install google chrome, for example because of easier install of extensions, you have to do this:

    Download the latest .deb from google chrome website.
    -Open terminal
    -Type: dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
    (or whatever ur filename is)
    -When you have installed it, you have to do this to be able to run it:
    -In terminal: cd /usr/bin
    gedit google-chrome
    (or if u are using kde, then "kate google-chrome")

    At the end of exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@"
    Add --user-data-dir
    So it looks like this
    exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@" --user-data-dir

    start the app from menu or type google-chrome to terminal

  8. Here's another good option if you have trouble with the above:

    1. Go to /usr/bin
    2. Make a copy of chromium-browser
    3. Rename this copy chromium-browser-start
    4. Open original chromium-browser with gedit, erase everything
    5. Type "chromium-browser-start %U --user-data-dir" (minus the quotations)
    6. Save

    So what we've done here is: When you call the Google Chromium browser (Chrome) either through the command line, clicking on the script in /bin, or through clicking on the Applications, Internet, Chromium Web Browser link, it runs the new chromium-browser script which just makes us a temp directory that Chrome will run in, then calls the Chrome browser.

    Easy!
