Chrome is pretty much my default browser for BT5R2. Despite the fact that it refuses to be ran as root with out some tinkering, I have found it easier to operate in BT5 than Firefox. Firefox fights me at every turn when I try to get flash player, JRE, or anything else running. Chrome comes with flash player already operational, and getting JRE going isn't too tricky either. What follows is the commands I used in the CLI to get the JRE going:
Essentially, all we are doing is creating the plugins folder for the browser, and then linking JRE to that file. The "-s" switch means that we're making a symbolic link instead of a hard link. When you're finished don't forget to test your work by visiting this website:

mkdir /opt/google/chrome/plugins--note, if you use a different version of JRE or filepath, you'll need to make sure that the last line reflects this.
cd /opt/google/chrome/plugins
ln -s /usr/local/jre1.6.0_17/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so .
