First when I try to install it it says that its not supported, but when I do a second click it lets me through. Then while installing it tells me
A problem that we were not expecting has occurred.
Please report this bug with the error description.
And the error description is
Installation aborted by user
Except I didn’t abort anything.
a few things to try
#1 use chromium which is basically chrome minus some google tweaks to get a full functioning chromium do:
you need packman for mp4 support, if you have packman just do
sudo zypper in chromium chromium-ffmpeg chromium-pdf-plugin chromium-pepper-flash
#2 if you really want chrome add google’s repo try
sudo zypper ar https://www.google.com/linuxrepositories google
sudo zypper in google-chrome
ps I don’t use any google chrome so I have not tested this.
And please, always tell what you are doing/using, etc. There are many ways to “install it”, and we can not guess which one you use.
I tried to install it using the first method and it worked until the end then I got this.

I did say I’ve never used google and I made a mistake about their repo’s, remove the above repository it’s wrong
sudo zypper rr https://www.google.com/linuxrepositories
then add this one http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64
sudo zypper ar http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64
refresh the repositories and install google-chrome
sudo zypper ref
sudo zypper in google-chrome
google does not have a propper repo so the above is for 64bit only for 32 bit you’d need to use
http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386
It worked until I got to the end then I got this

I forgot you need to give the repository a local name, the name can be google

then do a refresh and ask for chrome
sudo zypper ref

it’s sign key, seeing how google is providing these packages opensuse can not guarantee if they’re real so you can ignore it (press i).
That’s not a real problem, the real problem I see is that you are downloading google-chrome-unstable
check your repo as it is supposed to be the stable one
http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64
you should get google-chrome-44 not the unstable alpha 46 version?
did you maybe type unstable when adding the repo.
again post your repo’s
zypper lr -d
as I don’t use chrome or any google app maybe someone else can be of more help.
My repos. And no I’m not sure why I got the unstable version.

David@linux-gu7v:~>
When I tried the code you posted for the stable version I got this.
David@linux-gu7v:~> http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64
bash: http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64: No such file or directory
David@linux-gu7v:~>
I believe I’m close but there’s just something missing.
I really don’t know, google probobly removed that repository and they don’t seam to have a link to a current one.
I don’t recommend using the alpha version as that one is way too unstable.
maybe someone else can help
I would use Chromium but it doesn’t have the Okay Google detection for my mic. Google removed it and its too much hassle to type every search that I want. Is there a way to get it to install without the command console??? Like using an install file from the Chrome site. That’s the main issue I was having. Not one by installing with Konsole.
You cannot run “http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64”, it is no command but an internet URL.
Google has instructions here anyway:
https://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/
Download the RPM package from Google Chrome - The Fast & Secure Web Browser Built to be Yours (by clicking on Download and selecting the “64bit .rpm (For Fedora/openSUSE)”), and save it on your hard disk (directly installing it might not work correctly).
Then run “sudo zypper in google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm”.
The package will setup the repo for automatic updates when it is being installed.
PS: Please update your system.
This bug (that package installation doesn’t work the first time, you have to click again within a minute) has been fixed (by me 
) months ago.
That is the URL to be added to your repos list. Either to be used in the zypper ar command, or in YaST > Softwrae > Repository Management and then Adding.
You enter this as a command in bash. And bash reports that it can not find such a command… Rather logical.

The correct URL for Chrome is:
http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64
And it is an URL, not a command. I_A gave you you the sequence of
commands to use several posts back. You have to remove the repository
you added back then, and add this one instead.
If you are not familiar with the command line, just start yast, enter
the password, and go to software, then repository management module.

I understood that part, just not how to fix it. I’m used to GUIs not command prompts. That’s why I’m asking for help and I did admit I’m new to Linux/Opensuse as i just came from Windows 8.1 mere days ago. Excuse me if I don’t have it all understood yet.
There is no need to make excuses. You have a problem, we try to help and explain.
The important thing is if you now succeeded in adding that repository. We gave you the CLI and the GUI way to do it. So you can try what method you like more.
