Good News!  It looks like Google has a fix that will restore support for CentOS 7. 

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1261617#c26

TL;DR: the fix will show up in the google-chrome-unstable package v97.0.4677.0. 
Eventually a fixed version will be available as the stable package.
