Chrome needs Google Play Services installed as a system application. This solution involves setting up a Genymotion emulator, flashing Google Play Services, then installing Google Chrome through Google Play.

You'll need a Google account and a Genymotion account (free for non-commercial use). It will take about 30-40 minutes, most of which will be spent downloading/updating.

1. Download the Google Play Services update zip for whatever versionyou're using here: https://goo.im/gapps/. I wanted to use 4.4.4, soI chosegapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip

2. Download and install Genymotion (free for non-commercial use):https://www.genymotion.com/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter#!/download

3. Open it up, sign in with your Genymotion account, set up whateveremulator you want. Start the emulator.

4. When it starts, drag 'n' drop the gapps zip you downloaded earlierinto the emulator. It'll copy across, then ask if you want to flashit. Click yes. When it's done, close the emulator and start it upagain.

   For the rest of this you might get frequent popups saying thatGoogle Plus or whatever didn't install correctly. Just hit okay andsoldier on.

5. Now you need to sign into your Google account. Go Settings ->Accounts -> Add Account -> Google. Follow the prompts.

6. Open up Google Play. Open the left menu -> Settings. Tap the 'BuildVersion' cell a few times. It will say that the new version will bedownloaded and installed.

7. Wait (you don't have to stay on the settings page). After all theapps have updated (you might have to accept new permissions) theBuild Version will have changed and taping it again will show aprompt that says it is at the newest version.

8. Open up Google Play Store and download and install Chrome.
