Where is Google Chrome located on a Mac?

The first few Google results didn't help. Maybe this will be the new best Google result.

This also helps:

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome

Taken from: Start Google Chrome on Mac with command line switches

According to "chrome install location osx", which leads to How do I change the Chrome installation folder on a Mac?, it is with the rest of the applications in the usual spot at /Applications/Google Chrome.app.

If it's not there, multiple techniques for locating it (or any application) can be found here (also via the search results above):

  • In a terminal:

    find / -type d -name "*Chrome.app"

  • In a terminal (answerer was using Mountain Lion): 

    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -dump | grep -i "google chrome"

I suppose you could also search your computer for "Google Chrome.app".

The related questions on the right side of this page also contain useful information. For example, How do I uninstall Google Chrome *completely* from my Mac? shows where application settings are located.

I found chrome://version very helpful. Here is my output
