How to Download and Install Google Chrome for MacBook

Are you using a MacBook and haven't installed Google Chrome yet, or did you uninstall it and want to reinstall? This article will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to download and install Chrome for your Mac computer.

Google Chrome is a popular free cross-platform web browser widely used around the world. To get started, follow these simple steps:

1. Download Google Chrome: Open Safari browser and search for 'Google Chrome' which will lead you to the Google Chrome download page.

2. Choose the correct package: Once you click on the Download Chrome button, you will be redirected to a new page where you'll have to choose which type of package you want to install. Since you're using an Apple powered M1 Chip Mac with macOS Big Sur, choose the option 'Mac with Apple Chip.'

3. Download and install: The download process will begin, and you can track its progress on your screen. Once the download is complete, a .dmg file will be saved in your Downloads folder.

4. Eject the DMG file: Right-click on the icon and select 'Eject Google Chrome.' This will allow you to delete the dmg file from your downloads folder, freeing up some space.

5. Install Google Chrome: Double-click on the .dmg file to start the installation process. You will be asked to put the Google Chrome DMG file into the Applications folder. Drag and drop the Google Chrome icon into the Applications directory.

6. Extract the dmg package: It will take a few seconds to extract the dmg package into the Applications folder.

7. Open Google Chrome: Once the installation is complete, you can open Google Chrome by navigating it to the Applications directory via Finder or by using Spotlight search (Command + Space Bar).

8. Drag and drop to the dock: If you use Google Chrome frequently, you can also drag its icon to your dock for easy access.

9. Perform cleanup activities: Once you've opened Google Chrome for the first time, Mac will ask if you're sure you want to open an application downloaded from the internet. You can answer 'Yes' and proceed with the installation.

That's it! Your Google Chrome browser should now be installed on your MacBook.
