Or, and I know this is like SUPER surprising, right, but... ... maybe you could try searching on Google's web search engine for the way to install Google's web browser. Having just done this myself, the surprising part is that the answer was NOT the first result. It was part way down the first page for me: https://www.google.com/chrome/ On this page, there is a "Download Chrome" button. Clicking this gives me a pop-up overlay panel thingy which asks me to select between "64 bit .deb" and "64 bit .rpm". There is a note that tells me how to avoid adding the Google repository if for some reason I wouldn't want that. I'm not going to go through the entire download process again here, having already done it long ago. Suffice to say, there are no detailed instructions on the wiki for how to do this, because it's incredibly simple and obvious, and nobody should NEED detailed instructions. You download the .deb from Google and you install it with dpkg -i or apt install ./ or whatever you prefer. Then you're done. Those are the instructions.
