In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Google Chrome on Manjaro 21. For those of you who didn’t know, Google Chrome is a free and open-source web browser developed by Google. The usability and extensive feature list of Chrome attracts users, and therefore a large community of people is using it as their primary web browser.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS.

I will show you the step-by-step installation of the Google Chrome browser on a Manjaro 21.

Google Chrome Features

  • Speed: Google Chrome is known for its fast loading times and smooth browsing experience.
  • Security: Google Chrome uses sandboxing and other security measures to protect users from malicious websites and online threats.
  • Syncing: Google Chrome allows you to sync your browsing data across devices, so you can access your bookmarks, history, and other data on any device where you are signed in to Chrome.
  • Extensions: Google Chrome has a large library of extensions, which are small programs that add additional functionality to the browser. These extensions can be used to customize the browser and add features such as ad blockers and password managers.
  • Incognito mode: Google Chrome has an incognito mode that allows you to browse the web privately, without leaving a trace of your browsing history or search history on your device.
