20100917 - Updated the contents of this post to replace 'beta' package references to 'stable'.
Create the Google yum repository configuration file (replace x86_64 with i386 in the repo file to use the 32bit Google repository)
$ sudo vim /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo [google] name=google - x86_64 baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
Then install Google Chrome

Want to run Google Chrome web browser on your Fedora workstation? Not exactly Chrome, but you can install and run the open source browser (devoid of Google branding), Chromium, of which Google Chrome is based.
Chromium will install on both 32bit and 64bit systems.
First, create a new yum repository configuration file (/etc/yum.repos.d/chromium.repo):
[chromium] name=Chromium Test Packages baseurl=http://spot.fedorapeople.org/chromium/F$releasever/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0Next install chromium, 2 packages will come from the chromium repo, chromium and v8:
$ sudo yum install chromium Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================== Installing: chromium x86_64 4.0.252.0-0.1.20091119svn32498.fc12 chromium 9.7 M Installing for dependencies: minizip x86_64 1.2.3-23.fc12 fedora 24 k nss-mdns x86_64 0.10-8.fc12 fedora 21 k v8 x86_64 2.0.0-1.20091118svn3334.fc12 chromium 810 kOnce installed, you'll find Chromium on the Applications menu under Internet.
