AG: Is that "bottom v top" posting really a thing? I didn't know that . . . well anyway, I'm sure your process was done properly, I was just joshing you about being "wrong" . . . because it would be so unlikely, etc. I'm sure you noticed that I logged in and out of the three DE options and found "chromium" in the menu . . . we can only "hope and pray" that yours shows up?
Only other top posted offering, I mentioned synaptic because I think there are a few different versions of "chrome" out there, and it might have been that synaptic showed "chromium-browser" as the package in the repos?? but I believe that whatever it was I picked that . . . whereas I think in my other distros I might have used "apt install chromium" . . . ??? But, again, I had not previously logged into the LXDE session before your post, so it was pre-loaded or pre-preferred . . . and chromium was there in the menu . . . . Trying to provide relevant data . . . I think I was running 20.04 since it was alpha . . . really not too many issues, it's a fine release.
