How to : Install Google Chrome 43.0 (Stable) on Ubuntu or Linux Mint via PPA


Install / Update Google Chrome 43.0 (Stable) on Ubuntu 15.04 vivid Vervet, ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (LTS) and Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana

Google Chrome, or Chrome, is a web browser software that tries to compete with major players, such as Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, and even the Opera web browser. It is available for the Linux, Android, iOS, Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS X operating systems. But Google Chrome is more than a web browser, as it combines sophisticated open source technology, borrowed from the Chromium application, into a minimal design, all in order to help users surf the web much faster, a lot easier, and safer than ever before.

Features at a glance

A unique functionality of the Google Chrome application is its ability to search the web directly from the address bar. Just type one or more words in the address bar and immediately get suggestions for popular web pages. The application displays thumbnails of your top websites on the new tab page, a function that is popularly called Speed Dial. This functionality is also available on other similar products, and it allows you to easily access your favorite web pages instantly, with lightning speed, from any new tab.

While the first iteration of Chrome 43 (the first version promoted from the Beta to the Stable channel) brought 37 bug-fixes, Chrome 43 has been updated yet again (Chrome  43.0.2357.124 being promoted), updating the Flash Player to version 18.0.0.160 and bringing security fixes.
Installation instructions:

Google Chrome is available via the Google repositories for all the popular Linux systems, so installing and keeping Chrome up to date will be easy.
