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 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.
seeing as how they don't seem to give a hoot about Ubuntu either (based on the gymnastics users need to go thru to get Google Earth to work on Ubuntu) I'm not sure they care much about non-chrome Linux distros anyway.
How not surprising. $$$ is their only concern and has always been. Disrespecting open source [everything] whereas benefiting from open source themselves could be one of their mottos.
This really helps to appreciate companies like RedHat even more...
