CentOS - Oct 2021 - FYI, Chrome no longer supported on Centos7.

Hi,

FYI, it looks like Google has decided to drop support for Chrome on Centos 7.

(tigger pts9) # yum install google-chrome-stable
Loaded plugins: changelog, fastestmirror, langpacks, nvidia, priorities
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
  * elrepo: mirror.pit.teraswitch.com
10 packages excluded due to repository priority protections

--> Processing Dependency: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.18)(64bit) for package:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: google-chrome-stable-95.0.4638.54-1.x86_64 (google-chrome)
            Requires: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.18)(64bit)
  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
(tigger pts9) #

Anyone know where to get previous rpm versions of chrome?

Regards,

Looks like they are working on it:

The chrome beta and stable releases:

  google-chrome-beta.x86_64     96.0.4664.35-1 
  google-chrome-stable.x86_64   95.0.4638.69-1               

from the google repository now install and run on centos-7 without
the glibc 2.18 dependency issue showing up. I can't speak for the
versions in elrepo.
