I installed chromium, but no menu entry was created. Where is the executable to be found? What does one execute to have the chrome browser come up?

What did you install and how?
For what it's worth
chromium is a game
chromium-browser is the open source arm? of chrome
chrome is propitiatory and only available from Google

On my KDE system, "Google Chrome" (the proprietary version from Google) is in Internet/More in the menu. The executable is /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome

Whoops. I installed the wrong thing. Didn't realize it was called chromium-browser. Thanks.
