I was using the Chrome dev channel for a while and was used to getting updates via:
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
Recently I discovered though that my dev channel remains the same and I have to redownload the google-chrome-unstable_current_amd64.deb from google and then an upgrade gets applied via the software center.
How to always get upgrades for Chrome dev channel?
Updated answer:
Due to apt-key being deprecated for reasons, now you should follow the steps as follows:
Set up key:
sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings && wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/google.gpg
Set up repository:
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/google.gpg] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list'
Setup package with:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-unstable
Then you can get updates using sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

From http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/google_chrome?dist=stable:
Setup key with:
wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
Setup repository with:
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list'
Setup package with:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-unstable
Then you can get updates using sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
/etc/apt/sources.list.d. Installing Google Chrome using the deb file from Google makes that entry again. – edwinksl Jun 01 '16 at 19:52
