Chrome is not the same as Chromium although they are similar.

when i type "google chrome" in the software center it gives me "chromium web browser", which is already installed..
is there another way to do it?

Its not in software centre, you will need to manually download the deb and install it (rare in Ubuntu. Not a bad move to check the Software Centre first)

Hi,

Go to https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/
Download chrome browser. Double click on it it will ask for your
password. Installed it and have fun
Google Chrome is build with flush-plugin in it. So you don't have to
installed it.

Savio

Do you download and install Goolgle-chrome?
If yes then it will be available in dash. just search for "chrome".

See if problem still persist on Google-chrome. Revert back the same.
