Ubuntu MATE 18.04 i686 - how to install google chrome

Hello! I am running ubuntu mate 18.04 i686 (32 bit). I would like to know how can I install google chrome (italian). I tried to download deb file from google. but when I try to install it it say that I should add architecture and install the package. How do I do that? o any other way to install google chrome.

Thank you.

Google Chrome for Linux does not support 32 bit anymore - there is only a 64 bit version.
You can try installing Chromium instead, that one might still work on a 32 bit OS.
sudo apt install chromium-browser

Thank you very much for your reply. Is there anyway that we can add architecture and install google chrome. My pc supports 64 k system or can I convert i686 complete to 64k.

You’ll need to reinstall to move from i686 to amd64.

Another option for Chromium, which is updated more frequently these days, is the Chromium snap:

snap install chromium

Thank you very much for all replies. I reinstalled and move to 64K and it working well !

Thank you @maximuscore this finally worked for me
