[vox] How to fix Google Chrome browser apt sources.list entry

[Mark's tech help]

Wow, Rick-- once again you've corrected me rightly, and added some very much updated, germane info!  I'd been meaning to get back to my emails & thank you for the last time you did same-- I'm falling behind!
Just saw another mention of Opera people in a Linux mag:  the Feb "Linux Format" issue (I get them late!) has a review of Vivaldi 1.0 Beta, a project of Opera co-founder & ex-CEO Jon von Tetzchner (is that like Germany-- means he's of royal descent?).. 
"targets fans of the classic Opera browser who miss its power features" ..  then down in the meat of the page:  "uses Chromium's Blink engine, so it's swift .. & supports most Chrome extensions too."
I'll have to have a look-see!  Might be the next cool thing.
