I suppose that every user of SBo has a convenient workflow for running<br>
SlackBuilds. With a trivial <a href="http://google-chrome.info" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">google-chrome.info</a>, for example<br>

one can use the same workflow.<br>
<br>
BTW, I also read the rss<br>

to know about new versions.<br>
