How to install Google Chrome on macOS
Recently, I discovered that the two web browsers that I use every day are not enough for me and I decided to install a third one. I was needed Google Chrome to complete a task that could not be done with other web browsers. In this article, I will show you how to install Google Chrome in macOS :) Let’s begin.
Preamble
In my daily life I use two web browsers, depending on the situation; almost always Safari and sometimes Opera (do you know it has a VPN built into it? :) ). Some time ago I had a few issues/problems that I could not solve using Safari or Opera. Having learned that such problems do not happen in Google Chrome, I decided to install a third web browser, and as it turned out it was not in vain :) Safari is still my favorite web browser and I’m going to use Chrome as Opera, on the rare occasion, when I can’t do something in Safari.
