Is there something wrong with my setup, because when I try to download the 64-bit .deb from Google the process just gets stuck? The spinner spins, but nothing happens.
Does it work for you?

How and where are you downloading from? – Mitch Feb 17 '14 at 18:21

I'm using Firefox on Ubuntu 13.10 and I'm located in Finland. – juzzlin Feb 17 '14 at 18:22

Take a look at This, does it help? – Mitch Feb 17 '14 at 18:23

No, because that's about installing the deb. I cannot even download the deb. – juzzlin Feb 17 '14 at 18:24

Edit: downloading with wget works. – juzzlin Feb 17 '14 at 18:25

Try with command lines :
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
and then install it :
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome*.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
once installed, you can remove the package :
rm google-chrome*.deb

Yeah, that worked. I still wonder why I can't download with Firefox. I don't even have adblock or anything enabled. – juzzlin Feb 17 '14 at 18:27

I don't know, I am using
firefox 27.0and Ubuntu 13.10 64 bit, and I can download the .deb both ways (through Firefox and Wget) – MrVaykadji Feb 17 '14 at 18:28
