chrome unable to install / dependencies issue

[spiderman]

QApt says unsatisfied dependencies, GDebi launches, says all dependencies are satisfied and dissappears ( does not return after selecting .deb file stable chrome)

With dolphin open to where the deb is hit f4 to open a terminal.
Enter
sudo dpkg -i nameofthedeb.deb

If it does not install it then it will give errors saying why and we can go from there.

So what happens if you first run sudo apt install libappindicator3-1?

Agreeing with chimak here.

Dpkg does not handle dependencies so you'll need to try installing the missing package. The one here is IIRC usually part of a normal Ubuntu/gtk based desktops so most people won't see the error.

You mention dissenter-browser. It seems to be derived from the Brave browser. I have Brave browser installed on Kubuntu 20.04:

curl -s https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-core.asc | sudo apt-key --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/brave-browser-release.gpg add -
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list
sudo apt update

and that installation initially required libappindicator3-1.

Commandline: apt install brave-browser

Install: brave-browser:amd64 (1.13.86), libappindicator3-1:amd64 (12.10.1+20.04.20200408.1-0ubuntu1, automatic), brave-keyring:amd64 (1.10, automatic)

However, a subsequent update of Brave led to libappindicator3-1 being listed for autoremoval!

The problem with some derivative browsers is that they aren't updated frequently. Perhaps down the road, even dissenter-browser won't need libappindicator3-1.

If you downloaded the google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb package from the google location, and let's say it is downloads to your Downloads directory, you can go to Downloads in Dolphin, double-click the .deb file. That will open a dialog box, click on the Install button, enter your password when prompted, and let 'er rip.

I've already done this in 20.04.1.

Thank you to the community! Appears to be successful!!! Strange that I already have brave, but unable to do dissenter until I followed y'alls instructions...

So what happens if you first run sudo apt install libappindicator3-1?

Thank you!!!!
