Hi, everyone.
I made a pet package for Google Chrome 24.0.1312.57.
I have yet to find any bugs in it whatsoever, as opposed to the past versions of Google Chrome and Chromium.

Here is the pet: http://www.datafilehost.com/download-1cd3eb21.html

Hi Sheepy.. Pup specific, or, she'll work for all current offerings?

I know you haven't tested, right?

Nope, sure haven't! Hahaha.
But this should work with all puplets. I am pretty positive this is every dependency that would be needed.

Good.. good to know. Thank you sir.

Pssst, usually just stick in /usr/lib and run it with that dopey user dir line..

Actually, it's installed in /opt/google/chrome. I made the package from the official Debian package and changed hex value of /opt/google/chrome/chrome.

Well, it's fine that you offer this pre-pkg'd pet. As for myself, I prefer manual installs..

I know the feeling. xD
Although with some pets dependency hunting can be a hassle!
Chromium goes in /usr/lib/ like many other pets, but Google products (Google Talk, Chrome, etc.) go in /opt/google. Pretty strange spot, isn't it? The latest Google Chrome package comes with all dependencies, which is why it is so large. Even has its own built-in media player (some versions of Chromium had super buggy media players).

Sorry the .pet didn't work for me...

The .pet installed the package to a directory /google-chrome 24.0.1312.57 and not to /etc, /opt. and /usr.

Slacko 5.3.3

Leave it to sheepy to accidentally package the wrong directory. T__T
I updated the link in the post.
Thank you for catching that! lol

I'm running Racy 5.5. I installed Google Chrome from the link in your initial post. The Puppy Package Manager says it is installed but I can't find it under Internet or in the usr/share/applications directory. Where can I locate a copy that will work in Racy 5.5. Same goes for Firefox. The repos have old versions of Firefox.

FF's *where* in Racy.. /usr/lib?

Yes. I see a firefox-4.0.1 directory in there. When I do an about on it it says Tumucumaque Minefield. I was looking for the latest ff which I think is now up to 19. and Google Chrome 24?

If you wanna continue with FF, confirm you're willing to play guinea pig. Chrome's a whole'nother ball game.

*Slow response.. I'm take'n this as a no. Quite OK. You can't expect me or anyone else to do all the legwork.

*No response means >> you didn't like what I had to say. Understood. My response- I wish you the best.

It's on my test laptop so why not. I'm game! Let's do it!

Rename both /usr/lib/firefox and ~/.mozilla/firefox by placing a *1* in front of each.

Dwnld the latest tarball and extract to the same.. /usr/lib.

Menu stuff should remain intact. She fire?

No. It doesn't launch.

There's an FF folder IN your FF folder.. HOW SO?

You extract to /usr/lib or /urs/lib/firefox?

I extracted to /urs/lib/firefox

I will start over again, and this time extract to /usr/lib

Yep! That'll do what we want >> overwrite <almost> everything.

Yer slow.. C'mon Randy- get down wid'it..
