So let's install Chrome from the web.…Of course I'll need to go to Edge just…to be able to search for it on the web,…and I'll just do a quick search up here in the address bar.…I'll search for Google Chrome,…and we can see a search result here.…This is where I can go to download…and install that application.…Clearly this process is going to be different…
