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

Nothing I had clicked on seemed appropriate to the expected task. I'm not a Chrome user. This is
for a friend whose vision is about 5% and tasks me with his upgrades.

Thanks!
