I recently downloaded Chrome on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. After extraction, google-chrome-stable (from chrome->usr->bin->...) says

the link "google-chrome-stable" is broken and its target "/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome" doesn't exist ...

What should I do?

You always install .deb files by opening a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and running the command:

sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb

For example:

sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/google-chrome-stable.deb

You should never just extract the binary files from the archive and try to run them. This may work for very simple applications, but is usually predetermined to fail.

Or, whenever possible, use the Ubuntu Software Center to download and install software without any trouble.
