Well they already had firefox installed it seems
Tutorials like this that are really simple might be a good way yo introduce the idea that Linux does not need to be difficult or complex.
Chrome is so common and it demonstrates that you can use something familiar on Linux.
Of course. The GUI package manager is the first thing I always show people. I was still just making a joke though

it's always important to install chrome so google can see the first website you visit before you uninstall is www.firefox com/download
But... Firefox is always already installed.
Ah yes, the bait-and-switch strategy

Was going to upvote then saw them install chrome. Just why? Use Firefox or Chromium
Typical Gnome user.

Literally no Linux user ever....
I typically end up installing chrome for the odd website that does require it. Firefox is still my daily driver on all platforms though, not sure what Mozilla is thinking with their future plans.

firefox tho
They already have that, as you can see in the clip.
Why are you showing people how to deliberately install spyware?
Chrome? Never! Only firefox. Eventually chromium.
Bro this is like pineapple on pizza, you know some people like it, but you also know that is objectively fucking WRONG. WTF
These days I wouldn't dare to even chrome my windows.
Chrome is literally the same shit as Chromium but with (more) spyware. Like, there are no other added features. And some people still choose to download Chrome. WHY!?!?!?

Installed Chrome via GUI
Linux users uninstalling browser: basically same as what the op shows.
21 minutes. Mother of God.
and 22 seconds in: now most of these methods don't work

Now show how much trouble windows users need to go through to remove S-mode because Microsoft considers chrome to be a "potential security risk", which... Yeah, it kinda is!
Literally Firefox in the dock...
I don't know why so many windows users find it so difficult to install software on linux.
Use the app store like you do on your phone
And yet, they keep opening a browser and searching "how do I install X".
🤷
