Latest chromium-el6 at http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/chromium/6/x86_64/RPMS/ is chromium-28.0.1500.95-213514.x86_64.rpm
but latest chromium stable is 29.0.1547.xx
wondering if there are any problems building version 29?

Yes, there are problems building the code with the CentOS-6 glibc/gcc/glib2 combination ... there are several segfaults during the build.
I am working on it, and I have made progress, but I might not be able to get it to work.
In the mean time there is another option that also works, and that is to include the required libraries to actually run the original chrome in its own directory. I have not actually used this, but it should work based on the concept:
http://www.tecmint.com/install-google-chrome-on-redhat-centos-fedora-linux/
Again, I have not used this, but it should work .. if someone does use it, post here.
Another option to try is to build chromium with the devtools from here:
http://people.centos.org/tru/devtools-1.1/
I will continue to try to get chromium to build, but since google is no longer supportive of EL6, I may not be able to get it to build. Note: Google also no longer supports using "GNU make", but requires a compile system called ninja to properly build the code ... also causing issues with build on CentOS.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

I just tried this and it did work. Thank you for the tip.

That page requests credentials, even from google's cache.
If you keep on canceling the auth dialog it will eventually load from Google's cache, minus the images. The main download is a script that does the package copy. I'll have a chance to try it in about an hour.
Johnny, thanks for your efforts in getting this to work.

I'm skeptical about a long term solution involving a script that copies binaries from Fedora distribution. I would prefer a solution which incorporates the newer devtools from Tru.

What about Midori browser?
it's also a webkit based browser. Does anyone have experience with Midori?

Newer Midori does not build on CentOS due to, you guessed it, too old deps versions.
My advice to anyone who needs a good, solid browser is to use the stock one (Firefox ESR) or get the latest Firefox binary from ftp.mozilla.org if they really want to be bleeding edge.

Doesn't work or even build on CentOS5 anymore. The latest version that stillbuilt was 22.

I have managed to build Firefox 24.0 ESR on CentOS 5 - full details currently available via:

Or consider using the Remi repo for firefox. When I enabled it I also added the includepkgs line to prevent updates to other packages.
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
includepkgs:remi-release,firefox*,xulrunner*
yum upgrade firefox
So far version 23.0.1 has worked flawlessly.
