I don't believe that google-chrome (as provided from the google repositories) has worked (been installable) on Centos-6.x machines for 2 years or more. [I just tried to install their current stable-48 on a 6.7 machine and got the libstdc++.so.6 dependency issue that broke this some time ago.] With Centos-7 you'll see that warning banner if/when you update to 48. That release has been in beta since mid-december: <https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2015-December/156726.html> and was just pushed out from their "stable" channel late last week. My message in mid-december didn't elicit any real solution, but maybe that it's now hitting the stable release for Centos-7 there might be more interest.
