emacs/27.1/lisp/net/browse-url.el says:
  (defcustom browse-url-chrome-program
    (let ((candidates '("google-chrome-stable" "google-chrome")))

OK, but you forgot one:

$ ls /usr/bin/*chrom*|xargs dlocate
google-chrome-unstable: /usr/bin/google-chrome-unstable
$ apt-cache policy google-chrome-unstable
google-chrome-unstable:
  Installed: 89.0.4385.0-1
  Candidate: 89.0.4385.0-1
  Version table:
 *** 89.0.4385.0-1 500
        500 http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

In fact maybe stable is now unstable, sort of     ^^^^^^.

Wait, it seems they also ship a symlink,
$ ls -l /usr/bin/*chrom*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 11-14 07:22 /usr/bin/google-chrome -> /etc/alternatives/google-chrome
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 01-11 13:48 /usr/bin/google-chrome-unstable -> /opt/google/chrome-unstable/google-chrome-unstable
So it seems browse-url-chrome-program should still work as is.

So there's nothing to do here?  Then I'm closing this bug report.
