I use chrome on CentOS because I wrote a web socket web app and I can only get chrome to work properly with web sockets.
I have a local web app created with erlang. It works like ms sccm to wake, freeze/thaw deepfreeze PCs and can update windows/mac/linux boxes when they need updates for some student computers labs and department/college class rooms.
Thanks for your understanding for my need for chrome - I moved over from xubuntu several months ago and I’d like to stay on CentOS.
Thanks,

...are you asking a question here and it's just eluding me? if you are indeed asking how to get chrome for your centos instance, you'll likely need to state which version (5/6/7) and what you've done so far to try to make that happen.

Making a statement after a previous set of questions about chrome issues….
I think some folks don’t like chrome on this list, so I was saying why I use chrome.

I don't like Chrome but I can understand your need to use it.
Chrome causes confusion with EV certs - I can tell family members etc. that when going to their bank site or paypal or wherever - to make sure they see green in top left corner, but Chrome specifically chose not to implement EV certs the same way causing confusion and yes - I hate Google for that amongst other things.
It is especially bad on mobile where there is no visual difference between an EV cert in FireFox and a "normal" cert in Chrome.
I hope Google crashes and burns, they are bad for the Internet.
But that's my opinion, others are entitled to their own.

Chrome, and Chromium, too, spies on users' web habits behind their back. In comparison with firefox, firefox pretty much allows you to switch off any unwanted features through preferences/about:config, and a traffic dump taken when browsing a known web site comes back clean.
Chrome OTOH, even if you turn all the knobs, still creates https traffic to Google servers, and you cannot tell what it is transmitting.

A bit OT, but chrome is the only way to use chromecast under Fedora or Windows, as far as I know.

self fulfilling prophecy - what would happen, when you had assume that there where people that like such kind of browser? :-)
there exist a chromium package from upstream for EL6 - subscription needed. Googles package should work with EL7 (untested) ... EL5 is mostly EOL.
