How to Install Google Chrome on Debian 10

Debian 10 comes with Firefox ESR as the default web browser. It should be working well but for me, I prefer Google Chrome rather than Firefox. So, I am planning to replace the Firefox with Google Chrome. This tutorial will guide you how to install Google Chrome on Debian 10 Buster.

I was unable to install Google Chrome using dpkg command. I got the following error message when I run the dpkg -i command directly as root.

dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable
dpkg: warning: 'start-stop-daemon' not found in PATH or not executable
dpkg: error: 2 expected programs not found in PATH or not executable
Note: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin
