Comment 73 for bug 1573408

I'm unable to observe the issue. In firefox, I browsed to https://google.com/chrome, clicked the link to download the deb and chose to execute it with the default application (which turns out to be gnome-software), clicked "Install", and Chrome got installed. It is not, however, listed in the "Installed" tab. Not sure whether that is intended for standalone debs that don't come from a known repository.
