Is it possible to install Google Chrome on Zorin Lite 32bit?

4

I do not believe it is, as Google Chrome has discontinued 32bit support.

Be sure to install the Linux Scroll Speed Fix extension to fix the horribly slow scroll speed. Works great.

You can install SRWare Iron, it's got 32 and 64 bit versions.

It's basically Chrome with all the Google corporate spyware neutered. I've used it on Windows and now on Linux. Same extensions, same look and feel, the identical browser across operating systems.
