I suppose that every user of SBo has a convenient workflow for running
SlackBuilds. With a trivial google-chrome.info, for example
-----
PRGNAM="google-chrome"
VERSION="10.0.648.151"
HOMEPAGE="http://www.google.com/chrome"
DOWNLOAD=""
MD5SUM=""
DOWNLOAD_x86_64="https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb"
MD5SUM_x86_64=""

one can use the same workflow.

BTW, I also read the rss
https://feeds.feedburner.com/GoogleChromeReleases
to know about new versions.
