        Chrome is a proprietary Google product. No source code is available.
        It is freeware but not FOSS.
        
        It is built on a base of FOSS code though. A version without all
        Chrome's features is built and provided as FOSS. This is called
        Chromium.

        Chromium is FOSS and can thus be included in Ubuntu. Chrome is closed
        source and so cannot.

Thank you Liam Proven for clarity on the difference.
I am not able to learn all that Ubuntu and Linux offer, but they meet all my desktop needs.
...Ubuntu user technical support fills the gaps well.

Regards Chas
