Appendix
Illegal Instruction
The Illegal Instruction error message appears when running the google-chrome command as privileged root user. Since by default Kali Linux's default user is root, we need to create a dummy non-privileged user eg. linuxconfig, and use this user to start Google Chrome browser:
# useradd -m -d /home/linuxconfig linuxconfig
# su linuxconfig -c google-chrome
Package libappindicator1 is not installed
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of google-chrome-stable:
google-chrome-stable depends on libappindicator1; however:
Package libappindicator1 is not installed.
To resolve Google Chrome's dependencies problems use gdebi to install Google Chrome's debian package. See above.
