It worked. I had tried on previous occasions downloaded debs with 'dpkg -i' without any
successes that I can recall. The provided deps on that page did the trick.

Before posting here that's sort of what I did with DuckDuckGo:
google chrome debian sources.list
google chrome for debian configuration

Thanks!
