You can install Google Chrome offline by going to the download page and download the .deb file that is matching your Linux version (32bit or 64bit).

After download you can open the window of that folder and just double-click the downloaded file.

Alternatively, after saving the file to a local directory you should open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and change to that directory. You should then execute the command:

sudo dpkg -i <filename>

Where <filename> is the name of the downloaded file.

    The download is based off your user agent, so if you are on another OS, use this download link: https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb – Alex Lauerman Oct 02 '18 at 21:58
  • I believe this needs to be updated. Going to their website just prompts to download based on your current browser/os. No way to search downloads for specific version/os. – IT_User Dec 14 '21 at 22:44

dpkg is too low-level and might cause broken packages in certain situations. A more reliable approach is to use apt in the following fashion (after downloading the .deb from https://www.google.com/chrome/?platform=linux):

sudo apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Note the ./ prefix — without it apt will attempt to parse the parameter as the name of a package in the apt repos rather than a local file.

Just download the .deb file from Chrome's website and install it later, like you do in windows.
