Chrx Install script installs Google Chrome automatically without an opt-out option #95

I love chrx so much and actively use it's Ubuntu install, however the install script adds the Google Chrome software repository and automatically installs Google Chrome. I would really appreciate if the dev team would consider adding Google Chrome as an extra package like Minecraft instead of automatically installing it, or if that's not possible/desired that an option, say -p chrome- or just -o for opt-out be added. I use Ubuntu because I value privacy and Google Chrome and Google in general really breaks that with their analytic tracking. Thanks for considering!

@saltedcoffeeuwu Thanks, that's a good idea. I don't use Ubuntu and I had forgotten that we were installing Google Chrome by default. Fixed now in chrx-3.0.1.

It is still possible to install Chrome from the chrx command line, using -p chrome.
