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.

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.

Thanks for the info. I missed that when I was googling for a solution.
Hopefully it will not take to long to fix.


Don't hold your breath.  If it doesn't make money for Google, they're
not likely to make any effort.  And Google is the king of killing
products.


When CentOS 6 could no longer run chrome, there was this site:

https://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/

I remember using it for a while.  If need be, perhaps we could rig
up something similar.


So, there is a Chromium build in EPEL.

Agreed, but at least they re-opened the bug and claim to be looking into it.

I am still hopeful but also looking in upgrading to something newer. :-)
