On Linux, the chrome team chose to integrate with system package managers instead of using their native updater - arguably the native updater would have worked better (many Linux distros still don't support delta updates!), but they wanted to buy goodwill with the Linux community.
- adbge 15y agoThis is also the reason why there is no canary version of Chrome available on Linux: since packaging is so involved, it's not worth the effort.
- ramidarigaz 15y agoUm. Chrome is offered in both .deb and .rpm (each 32bit and 64 bit).
- seabee 15y agoI don't see any such thing on their download page, only for stable and beta. I think linux users are better equipped than most to build it from source, however...
- ramidarigaz 15y agoOops. I missed the canary part. You're right.
