Cannot install Google Chrome on deb 9.12 i386 laptop[solved]

[outzen]

Im running a deb 9.12 stretch installation (Raspbian desktop theme) on a HP Elitebook, i386

Have tried various how to guides - like this
https://linuxconfig.org/google-chrome-w ... etch-linux, however message received after trying to install using this code

Code: Select all

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

output:

Code: Select all

dpkg: error processing archive google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb (--install):
 package architecture (amd64) does not match system (i386)

also tried to install via this

Code: Select all

sudo apt install -y google-chrome-stable

and get the following output

Code: Select all

Package google-chrome-stable is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Is it not possible to install on a debian 9 stretch i386 system?

Chrome support for 32 bit systems was removed some time ago. Use Chromium from the Debian repos instead.

Code: Select all

apt install chromium

Thks for info ... I already have chromium, and Im fed up with it. Think that search results are very poor compared to google chrome. Have a windows 10 box and this issue is now one of the main reasons why I dont go all in on linux

But apparently, this is something I have to live with

Search results? I am not sure if you are aware of the fact that you can use most internet search engines with multiple browsers...If you are indeed aware of this, then you didn't do a very good job at expressing yourself and it is not clear what you mean with that statement.

I thought Google doscnotinued 32-bit Chrome entirely, but apparently they only discontinued it on MacOS and linux. So, I guess if you really love Google, then you should use Windows on your laptop
