Google chrome on current?


Is there any way to get google chrome on Slackware current? I couldn’t find the slackbuild so I was wondering if you could get chrome. Thank you for any help.

Alienbob's Chromium build works great. You can use slackpkg+ and it will check his repository, download, and install it for you when updates are available if you set it up to check his mirror with
Code:
/etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf

A much easier method is to use ruario's latest-chrome.sh script. This will check the servers for a new version, if there is one, it will download and make it into a Slackware package, and you can optionally have the script install/upgrade that package by passing the script "-i".
