Chrome in Ubuntu 12.10

It seems like Chrome isn't ready for Ubuntu 12.10 yet, as you get the error when trying to install it, should I install Chromium instead, or just stick with Firefox for a bit?

The only problem is, I like using the Chrome web apps. I have a nice clean install of 12.10, and don't want to mess it up with some dodgy installs already.

As Google Chrome is a proprietary application it will never be available in Ubuntu repository, but you can install the Chromium web browser that also support the Google Chrome apps and you can also access the Chrome Web Store from it.

To install Chromium run the following command at the Terminal:

 sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

To install Google Chrome go to http://www.google.com/ and search for "Get Google Chrome"
