Lubuntu-users Digest, Vol 42, Issue 21

Wed Jun 24 12:11:50 UTC 2015

Thanks Henk. Yes, I did this (the 32-bit version).

I now see that I can open Chrome via the 'Web browser' button on the bottom
left task bar, and it is working well!
Note: although the Chrome download is only in the region of 47mb it takes
around 150mb disk space (this may be important for machines with low disk
space), but I like Chrome's minimal no-fuss GUI, and it does seem quicker
than Firefox.

With thanks,
Steve
