How to install Google Chrome and fix the goddamn icon after it?

Navigate to: https://www.google.pl/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html
Download deb file using Download Chrome button.

Run terminal and type:

cd ~/Downloads
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f upgrade

If you don’t have proper icon in your menu nor plank:

sudo nano /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop

Find [Desktop Action NewWindow] and add text below after all language declarations:
```
Icon=google-chrome
```
Press both CTRL + X and save your changes. That’s it 🙂
