How to download install google chrome 4.0 browser for linux (ubuntu)?

I liked the simplicity of google chrome browser and want to install google chrome on my ubuntu desktop. So i went to http://tools.google.com/chrome/?hl=en but unfortunately there is only a Learn More button instead of a Download button. Understood there is a download only for windows xp and vista. Where can i find a google chrome download for ubuntu?

Google chrome is only released for windows platform. For other platforms it is still in development stage. There is a development build available at http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel#TOC-Linux

For 32 bit systems use this .deb file http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html?dl=unstable_i386_deb
For 64 bit systems use http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html?dl=unstable_amd64_deb

Just right click on the .deb file and choose install. It will also update repositories so that whenever a new build is available ubuntu will update automatically.

I am using dev builds for a while and it is pretty stable. Google doesn't even release as beta unless the product is very solid. These dev builds never even crash. I would consider these are equivalent to beta. Download and enjoy super fast browsing.
