The chrome beta and stable releases:

  google-chrome-beta.x86_64     96.0.4664.35-1 
  google-chrome-stable.x86_64   95.0.4638.69-1               

from the google repository now install and run on centos-7 without
the glibc 2.18 dependency issue showing up. I can't speak for the
versions in elrepo.
