When you make this kind of plans it's always good to reply on as few 
3rd party as you can, especially for core components such as the 
browser.
I tried building Chromium in the past for EL6 and I gave up as it was 
too difficult for me. Of course someone else might succeed in doing so, 
but even in that case, for how long can he/she keep up with backporting 
updates and so on?

If you plan long term stuff go with the RH provided browser. I'd look 
into switching back to Firefox.
