Convert assci armored <code>linux_signing_key.pub</code> to gpg keyring format <code>linux_signing_key.pub.gpg</code>. <ref>
Because in next step, gpg can only work with keyrings. Not with assci armored public key files. This is to import only the newer signing key. Avoiding to import the insecure legacy DSA 1024 signing key.

{{CodeSelect|code=
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring linux_signing_key.pub.gpg --import linux_signing_key.pub

Create keyring with the RSA 4096 signing key only.

{{CodeSelect|code=
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring linux_signing_key.pub.gpg --armor --export "EB4C 1BFD 4F04 2F6D DDCC  EC91 7721 F63B D38B 4796" {{!}} gpg --dearmor --no-options --no-default-keyring > google.gpg

Install the Google RSA 4096 APT signing key.

{{CodeSelect|code=
sudo cp google.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/google.gpg
}}

== Avoid Google Chrome Automatic Repository Configuration ==
Due to [[Google Chrome Repository Insecurity|Google Chrome Repository Insecurity]].

Create file <code>/etc/default/google-chrome</code> to avoid Google Chrome Automatic Repository Configuration. <ref>
<blockquote>Note: Installing Google Chrome will add the Google repository so your system will automatically keep Google Chrome up to date. If you don’t want Google's repository, do “sudo touch /etc/default/google-chrome” before installing the package.</blockquote>
</ref>

Note: this will only work if Google Chrome Repository hasn't been previously added.

{{CodeSelect|code=
sudo touch /etc/default/google-chrome
}}

== Repository Installation ==
{{Open with root rights|filename=
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
}}

Paste.

{{CodeSelect|code=
deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/google.gpg] https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
}}

Save.

== Package Installation ==
Pick a package version.

* <code>google-chrome-stable</code>
* <code>google-chrome-beta</code>
* <code>google-chrome-unstable</code>

Example below installs <code>google-chrome-stable</code>.

{{Install Package|package=
google-chrome-stable
}}

= Usage =
