Install google chrome via apt 3rd party repo, then it will auto-update.  You can see the stable -> beta -> unstable versions [http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/google_chrome?dist=stable here].
  mh-install-chrome
wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable # there is also beta (more recent) and unstable (bleeding edge)
 
Install the [https://www.google.com/tools/dlpage/hangoutplugin hangout plugin] so that it will auto-update via apt.
* download the plugin .deb file from https://www.google.com/tools/dlpage/hangoutplugin
* Install the deb file from command line
  sudo dpkg -i ~m/Downloads/google-talkplugin_current_amd64.deb && sudo apt-get install -f # to fix any dependencies but there shouldn't be any
 
I believe i had to use the ubuntu package to cut the isight firmware so the MBP camera would start working in chrome.
 
NOTE: I gave up on Chromium when google started jamming it up (requiring frequent cookie clearing).
