Install Google chrome problems Leap 15.6

[vajcek]

Hello,
I tried to install Google chromme, but system requires Signification key, I Download ti many times (names-with-extensions.1 …2.+ …3), but can not install rpm file of browser at the end. Is there:

• any way to erase these keys?
• install Google chrome with repository?
  Thank you forr answering my questions.

It is not clear from your description what you did (as all terminal output is missing), but getting the Chrome repo, importing the signing key and installing Chrome is easy like that.

Set up the Google Chrome repo:

sudo zypper ar -f http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64 google-chrome 

Import the signing key:

sudo rpm -import https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

Install Google Chrome:

sudo zypper in google-chrome-stable

If I can say like this: Very thank you!

And to @vajcek … you may (or may not) know it, but that Chrome repo you now have installed, also allows you to install and use three types of Chrome: Stable, Beta, and Unstable.

You can have all three installed simultaneously. We do … see the list below. They can co-exist because they have their own dedicated entry in ~/.cache and ~/.config.

Obviously, you don’t have to have 2 or 3 types of Chrome installed … some folks (like us), like to experiment with any new functionality that might finally arrive in Stable. Obviously, a person might experience a bug or two with Unstable … Beta is fairly stable, showing some features that Stable doesn’t yet have.

We use Chrome for “Google specific stuff”.

Beyond that, we prefer to use the Brave browser for general Internet browsing (No, not starting a browser war ). It’s basically a fork of Chrome, but has a focus on privacy, with built-in ad-blocking and other dedicated privacy functionality. Repos are available for Brave.

@vajcek:

Are you absolutely certain that, you absolutely need to use Google’s Chrome browser?

Or, is the Google Chromium browser better suited to your needs?

• A network search – with “DuckDuckGo” or what ever – for “Google 2024 Chrome versus Chromium” may help you to understand my question …
