Can't download Google Chrome on my Mac!

I'm on the page http://google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html

There is a large blue button "Download Chrome" and below it "For Mac OS X 10.6 or later".

I click on the button. Result: the whole screen goes gray, and all links are de-activated, like a "lightbox" effect, and nothing else?!

Safari Version 8.0 (10600.1.25) On a Mac OS X Yosemite Version 10.10 iMac 27-inch


Try downloading Chrome from the command line instead. This solution has the command to download Chrome AND install.

solutions outlined are:

Using Homebrew cask

brew install brew-cask
brew cask install google-chrome

Using wget command

wget https://dl.google.com/chrome/mac/stable/GGRO/googlechrome.dmg
open ~/Downloads/googlechrome.dmg
sudo cp -r /Volumes/Google\ Chrome/Google\ Chrome.app /Applications/

Alternatively, using your browser, you can go to the direct link HERE and the browser will download the file automatically.


Solution: Safari allowed me to download firefox, and from firefox I was able to download chrome!!!!!!!!!!!
