Cask 'google-chrome' does not have a sha256 checksum defined and was not installed. about homebrew-cask

[bevanjkay]

A checksum cannot be used because the versions provided by the vendor are unversioned.

If a checksum was added the cask would stop working every time there is an update.

I didnt retry the command with --force out of an abundance of caution because i set ["--require-sha"] intentioanlly. If anyone can give me a rundown on why its a good idea to run with --force, great!
