I am a complete dork when it comes to computers so maybe I should forget Linux altogether! I want to install Chrome, it has all my bookmarks etc. Is there an easy way without writing lines of code in places I cannot find?

You can google for Chrome, go to Google official web site, download the appropriate .deb (probably 32bits), double click it and follow the instructions.
EDIT: Here is the download link: https://www.google.com/chrome?brand=CHMO#eula. Choose .deb for 32bits (or 64bits if you installed Ubuntu x64).

Use your current browser to download Chrome from the Google Chrome website. It should download a .deb file. The default download location for most downloads is the Downloads folder for your user account unless you changed it in your browser settings. Open a Terminal session with Control-Alt-T. Navigate to your Downloads folder with
cd ~/Downloads ;ls -l
which will also show the contents of the Downloads folder. You should see a file named something like google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb Get dpkg to handle the install by issuing
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb
Enter your user password when asked. dpkg will handle the install and place a launcher for Chrome in your Dash.
