Chrome is only available via wine.

You can use this repo which will let you install it using apt-get but its not native like firefox:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

add these 2 lines to the bottom:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

save and exit gedit.

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

This is from: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-chromium-google-chrome-in-ubuntu-using-deb-package.html

As I say its not a native app, its the windows version. Chrome isnt out for Linux yet
