Upgrade Google Chrome on Ubuntu 12.04

[Luangwa]

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 on an old Dell 8250 and it is so stable. Is there any work around to update Google Chrome? I heard that Google has stopped making updates for precise. Thanks for your anticipated reply.

I believe Google stopped updating chrome for 32 bit architecture.. not sure if chromium is available maybe? You could look into that.

And 12.04 will come to the end of its life on 28th April. (Yes, this Friday!). You need to upgrade to the next LTS. Look at something like https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/ubuntu-lts-update-dist-upgrade/

Upgrading to 14.04 would be the best option.
Just to add here, Chrome now longer updated in Windows Visa and before.

Yes, although I have not actually used 16.04 yet. Still milking the 14.04 LTS release.
