google chrome question and problem

Post by sonicmixmaster »

I have noticed that google chrome is not in the software manager list of applications. Isnt this the most popular and fastest browser out now? confused?
So i go directly to google and download and install chrome, sign in with my google account so all the settings and extensions self install and nothing. no extensions. I have done this on OSX, Windows 7, 8 and xp with no problems.

Any ideas?

Works here - what Mint do you use?

Chrome sort of is already in the repos, but as Chromium, the open source version of Chrome - it's exactly the same browser in pretty much everything.

Odd, works perfectly in the Cinnamon version, though account sync takes a bit longer than on Wndows.
