Can Chrome be set to update?

I've been playing with Tahrpup on my Aspire One netbook, and as usual Puppy delivers beautifully. I also very much appreciate that the new Quickpup let me install Google Chrome, which otherwise seems unavailable in PPM. Despite the privacy issues, Chrome is my prefered browser. I have notice that the usual auto-update feature of Chrome seems to have been disabled. Is there any way to turn it back on? I'll settle for a manual update.

I also installed Firefox, and Firefox auto-updates to the current version. I would like to update Chrome in a similar fashion.I tried Pale Moon and like it, but again, no way to update.

Back when I was using Puppy 3 as my sole working computer I installed Chromium, which auto-updated somehow to Chrome. It then kept itself updated until I upgraded that system to Lucid Puppy. So it seems to me should be possible. Is it?

Malderson, according to Google..

When are updates available >> Linux users: Use your package manager to update Google Chrome.

In other words >> manual dwnld.

As an aside, Policy Templates provide further flexibility.

Thanks for the pointer. Downloading the Debian/Ubuntu file from Google and letting PPM install it did the trick. Prior to this, I'd only used it to install pre-packaged PETs or packages from the repositories.

You could also use the Chrome portable. You download the new version at your leisure and just drop it in. The program does the rest.
