How to install Google Chrome Browser on Kali Linux 2018

Download Google Chrome:
To start Click Here or

use wget command to download a latest Google Chrome debian package:
# wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Install Google Chrome from Downloads directory,
# dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Now install dependencies for google-chrome libappindicator1, you have to install it by using following command
# apt-get install libappindicator1

If above step gives error then type
# apt-get -f install

To resolve Illegal Instruction error message appears when running the google-chrome command as privileged root user. Since by default Kali Linux's default user is root, we need to create a dummy non-privileged user eg. ud64, and use this user to start Google Chrome browser:
# useradd -m -d /home/ud64 ud64

To run Google Chrome type in Terminal
# su ud64 -c google-chrome &

Or better to create a shell script (any_name) with above lines with chmod +x and put into /usr/bin/, and to run just type:
# any_name
