Working on a way to be with the latest version of the google-chrome desktop, there are two options: 1) going for chromium proposed by alien bob:

which seems to be be problematic because of security issues.
or going for the google-chrome version with SlackBuild:
http://slackbuilds.org/mirror/slackware ... le-chrome/
In this howto we are going for the google-chrome version from the files located in:
http://slackbuilds.org/mirror/slackware ... le-chrome/
INSTRUCTIONS:
1.0 create /tmp/google-chrome-current
2.0 create and install the the slack-desc and google-chrome.SlackBuild files by copy/pasting the info into text files with their appropriate file names into /tmp/google-chrome-current:
slack-desc
google-chrome.SlackBuild
3.0 Modify google-chrome.SlackBuild error:
As there is an error on the SlackBuild modify it accordingly with your favorite text editor (kwrite or mousepad):

Change:to:
4.0 Assign the right permission to google-chrome.SlackBuild:
right click on the file > contextual menu > properties > permissions > executable
5.0 Download the necessary google-chrome-stable_current_<architecture>.deb in /tmp/google-chrome-current :
https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/t ... form=linux
6.0 change to /tmp/google-chrome-current and build txz package:
7.0 with right click contextual menu transform the .txz to .xzm and then double click on it to activate.
However, with the google-chrome version as with alien bob chromium version you will need:
