Do you know how to install google chrome to my desktop?

Question

Can you help me download Google Chrome to my desktop, My OS is Ubuntu Linux, Or is Google no longer supporting it for 32-bit? What comes up after I click install is 64-bit, Will that work, Or is Google no longer supporting 32-bit? Also, Which one do I need 34-bit, Or 64-bit to install it? Can you please help Me?

Please run uname -m to see if your Ubuntu is 32-bit ("i686" or "i386") or 64-bit ("x86_64"). If you see "x86_64" you have 64-bit Ubuntu and can run 64-bit apps. If you don't see "x86_64", then run lscpu | grep "op-mode" ; if the result shows "32-bit, 64-bit" you can step up to 64-bit Ubuntu and 64-bit apps. If it only shows "32-bit" you are limited to 32-bit OS and apps only. — K7AAY, Apr 06 '20 at 22:40
if your system is not too old, supports 64-bit OS then only my suggestion is to install 64-bit version OS. Otherwise, you ran out of luck. I found this article having a little bit of more information and alternative. You can take a look Google Is Ending Chrome support for 32-bit Linux, Ubuntu 12.04 And Debian 7 — Anuj Shrestha, Apr 07 '20 at 12:01

Unless you bought your computer >10 years ago, you probably need the 64 bit install.

To install Chrome on Ubuntu, try the following in a terminal:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Once that is done, install it with:

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

else, you could instead install Chromium, it's open-source and is less invasive:

sudo apt install chromium-browser

The latest distro of Chrome is not available for 32bit applications. Unless your hardware is limited to 32bit re-install a 64bit version of 18.04 and you can install the latest version of Chrome either from https://google.com/chrome or following the command line above.
