Google Chrome is awesome. Period.
However, if you're on a very slow or do not have an internet connection, the default Chrome installer (which is an online installer) is a pain.
I'd rather have a large download file for a completely offline install rather than a small file with an online one.
And you can get an offline installer for Chrome really easily. Here's how:
Head over to http://filehippo.com/download_google_chrome/ to get to know the latest version of Chrome available. Or you can just google that.
As of today, the Beta version is currently at
3.0.196.2
Now we've only got to take note of the last two parts of that version number. In this case: "196.2".
And then simply enter the following address into your browser and replace the xxx.xx with the version no.
http://dl.google.com/chrome/install/xxx.xx/chrome_installer.exe
In my case, it would be http://dl.google.com/chrome/install/196.2/chrome_installer.exe
Go to the link and you should get a prompt box telling you to save the file. It would be around 10mb. Just save the file and you're done.
The next time you've got to install Chrome, you can do it without an internet connection. Just fire up the newly downloaded installer and you're golden!
