Downloading Chromium Update isn't possible due to lack of 32-bit support. No longer receives updates for 32-bit versions. Would it be feasible to run Chrome via Wine instead?

You can test compatibility with Wine, though Chromium and Chrome are built specifically for Linux distributions. It’s best to use the 64-bit native version on your system. If you’re using a 32-bit OS, it works but may limit access to newer apps or binaries that no longer support 32-bit builds. For example, I host Debian Jessie on an outdated PowerPC Mac Mini as a Transmission-BT server, which means I can’t compile certain programs anymore since their dependencies aren’t maintained for that architecture.

Google Chrome stopped supporting 32-bit versions, while Chromium does this, but the distros handle it differently.
