Oh queso, if someone else can confirm the 'issue' that I believe now exists with the Chrome ".deb" file download (executed via "curl" in the "chrome-downloader" script) in "/storage/.kodi/addons/browser.chrome/bin" installed by the "Chrome" addon..
Apparently, Google has removed the "dl.google.com" directory paths and contents, forcing a 'web browser app' method of obtaining the installation files, no longer allowing specific selection of a version (or knowledge of what version is to be downloaded).
Such that, I created a work-around in which I manually downloaded the 'latest' DEB linux version (via their website), copying it to a 'Configs' sub-directory on my LE unit (which I keep for all the 'manual' stuff I have to install) and modifying the "chrome-download" script to copy it into the 'temp' area where it expects the 'curl downloaded' file to be placed...
It 'faked it out' quite well, and now have version 125.0.6422.141 installed...
I haven't found any information on a 'new' direct-download site, which may mean that all updates will have to be performed 'manually' in the future...
(Using LE 12.0 generic legacy X86_64)
