I'm seeing the following banner when I start up google-chrome 48-beta (48.0.2564.48 beta (64-bit)) on my 7.2 machines:
This computer will soon stop receiving Google Chrome updates because this Linux system will no longer be supported.
Does this portend a support issue for chrome on centos-7 in a few months when the underlying changes make their way into their -stable (since, as I understand it/as last I remember, in the centos world we don't have benefit of the RH chromium release)?
I can confirm that I see this on RHEL7 as well, with all the latest updates.
It looks like Google doesn't think RHEL7/CentOS7 is "new" enough to run Chrome.
I suggest providing feedback to Google, perhaps they might consider [not] dropping RHEL7/CentOS7 support if they get enough feedback, although I suspect they really couldn't care less about RPM-based distros, most of their code seems to be all ubuntu-based.
On the linked-to help page:
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95346
they show fedora-21[+] as supported. If I remember correctly, RHEL/CentOS-7 is based against fedora-19.
