Or use Chromium. Chromium is the open source browser that Chrome is
based on. "apt-get install chromium-browser", then search for "chromium
pepper PPA" for how to get the Chrome flash plugin to work with Chromium
(it's very easy).

Or go here:

Apparently Chrome has some nasty Google-supplied privacy-hostile
tendencies. But it may all be ill-founded rumour. I prefer open source
on principle - Chromium is open, Chrome is not. At least using Chromium
limits the closed part to the flash plugin.
