On the linked-to help page:

they show fedora-21[+] as supported. If I remember correctly, RHEL/CentOS-7 is based against fedora-19.
Actually, in two places on that page they say:
"Ubuntu 12.04+, Debian 7+, OpenSuSE 13.1+, or Fedora Linux 21"
No plus (+) after the 21.
I assume it must be a typo, since f21 left support on the 1st of this month. The fact that their documentation is poorly maintained is just another bit of evidence that no one seems to care. Either that, or Google doesn't support Chrome on any supported version of RHEL or Fedora. I guess I have to switch to OpenSuSE.
Right. I put the "+" in square brackets because, knowing that fedora-21 is EOL, I assumed that they meant to include more recent releases too (as they indicated with the "+" on the other linux spins).
I am curious as to what's in FC21+, but not in ~FC19, that might be about to cause things to break. I looked through the various discussions linked from:
http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2015/12/beta-channel-update.html
but didn't see anything obvious, but it may be too early for the changes to be mentioned.
