Describe the problem

There is a failure in these instructions when I try to "install Chrome from the command line:

wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub -O /tmp/google.pub
gpg --no-default-keyring \
        --keyring /etc/apt/keyrings/google-chrome.gpg \
        --import /tmp/google.pub
echo 'deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/google-chrome.gpg] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
sudo apt-get update -y; sudo apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable```

it returns this message:

W: GPG error: http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY E88979FB9B30ACF2
E: The repository 'http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable InRelease' is not signed.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

which then results in:

E: Unable to locate package google-chrome-stable

### Expected fix

It should not get an error, and google-chrome-stable should be installed


### Additional context

_No response_

@domesticmouse, can you test this?

I no longer have a ChromeOS device. I'm unsure who to hassle to get a device that isn't locked down with a Google profile.

@RedBrogdon, how can we address this issue?

Can I ask why would it install a linux version of chrome when chromebook already runs chrome? I am able to use this manually, and the chromebrowser seems to open ok whan I do manual testing

The Chrome in ChromeOS is not visible from inside the Linux VM that the Flutter DevTools are running inside.

By installing a Linux Chrome, the flutter tooling can debug running Flutter apps.
