Chrome causes confusion with EV certs - I can tell family members etc. that when going to their bank site or paypal or wherever - to make sure they see green in top left corner, but Chrome specifically chose not to implement EV certs the same way causing confusion and yes - I hate Google for that amongst other things. It is especially bad on mobile where there is no visual difference between an EV cert in FireFox and a "normal" cert in Chrome. I hope Google crashes and burns, they are bad for the Internet. But that's my opinion, others are entitled to their own.

Googles package should work with EL7 (untested) ... EL5 is mostly EOL. -- LF
> I don't like Chrome but I can understand your need to use it.Chrome, and Chromium, too, spies on users' web habits behind their back. In comparison with firefox, firefox pretty much allows you to switch off any unwanted features through preferences/about:config, and a traffic dump taken when browsing a known web site comes back clean. Chrome OTOH, even if you turn all the knobs, still creates https traffic to Google servers, and you cannot tell what it is transmitting.
