I installed chrome-deps-stable from nux repos to mx CentOS 6 box, then installed google-chrome-stable from official repos of Google. All succeeded.

The problem is when I close Chrome, the application stays in the background and will never exit. Also, there is a defunct chrome process.

test      3321  2.2  1.1 878168 94912 ?        SLsl 12:00   0:13 /opt/google/chrome/chrome

Next time I launch Chrome (old sandbox, zygote and defunct processes still running) it will display the following error.

index.php?t=getfile&id=275&private=0

I mostly use it under Xfce.

Anyone experienced this behavior?

Hi,

Yes, this happens to me too. Fortunately Chrome is not my main browser, so I am not really affected by this.
Google has declared EL6 platform dead for Chrome, so it's a wonder it still works at all.

As a workaround you could create a custom launcher that cleans up processes and invoke that from your toolbar Chrome shortcut, e.g.

#!/bin/bash

kill -9 $(ps aux|grep google|grep chrome|awk '{print $2}')
sleep 1
/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable "$@"

Yeah, I have created my own script as well but thanks for yours. Cool

Unfortunately, I feel this is only a temprary solution and Chrome can break any time at an upgrade and Google's idealist developers won't do anything about it.

How hard would it be to build the open-source Chromium natively for CentOS 6? So that it would use the glibc included in EL6 and might not need hacking around binary releases (like Google Chrome). Features that can't be supported on the CentOS 6 platform or are buggy could be turned off at build time.

Firefox is dropping GTK2 and does a switch to GTK3 (and it will be active in Firefox ESR in 2018). I wonder how Red Hat will deal with keeping it up and running. CentOS 6 doesn't have GTK3 (fortunately).

Hello,

Maintaining Chromium would be a real pain in the ass to be honest, I do not look forward to doing it.
I am sure RH will maintain Firefox/gtk2 need be and I advise everyone "stuck" on EL6 to use this browser.
