Google Chrome asks a lot of questions that I am not sure how to answer. Who is the administrator? Is that me (my PC) or Google? Also, do I click on "run", as there is no install button?

Question

I tried downloading Chrome five to 10 times but nothing happened. The only thing I see is the word "download" and the ball, but it doesn't get full. What am I doing wrong?

Community Answer

Try to use a VPN service while downloading (Betternet would be a good choice). If there is some server-related issue, so using a VPN should solve the problem.

Question

Why do some programs work in Firefox but not in Google Chrome?

Community Answer

You don't run programs through web browsers... What you actually mean is websites, which is quite rare since most websites are cross-browser and at the very least, work for Chrome. There is nothing you can do about it.

How much data does it cost to download Google Chrome?

About 200 MB. Keep in mind that Google Chrome is updated regularly, so it will use that much data every time the version changes (approximately once a month).
