[sf-lug] google chrome not loading facebook at all

[Michael Paoli]

So, how did you install Chrome?  And is that what you have installed?

I fired up a *buntu live 18.04.x, and neither Chrome nor Chromium
are installed by default, and searching the semi-obvious ways it
provides, it offers to install Chromium, but not Chrome.
So ... what do you have installed and how did you install it?

Also, did it ever work before, if so when?
And does it work on other web sites?
