Thanks for reading and please come back soon.
This article has the wrong title, you have just installed Chromium, which is not Google Chrome, but the open source project version, there are differences. If you want Google Chrome, just go to their Chrome download page and select the .deb file, and it will automatically update your repository list for you. You can if you wish run both on your system, as they install into separate directories and have separate config files as well. I use Chromium for testing and looking at the latest features and Chrome for when I want a stable browsing.
Thanks Swcodfather for the clarification.
One of the other differences which is biting me is the absence of the PDF viewer plugin in Chromium. The plugin is a very convenient feature of Chrome.
thnx
Great………………..!!!
