I don't think Google ever officially released a FreeBSD build of the
proprietary Chrome application. They do have official Linux builds, of
course, and it might just be possible to run these under the
Linuxulator, but your mileage may very, as they say.

But yeah, Google has again made a lot of people very unhappy with this
decision. Please draw your own conclusions. :)
