Tom 'spot' Callaway, Manager of the Fedora Engineering team at Red Hat is working with Google to fix the problems in Chromium so that it can be made available in the official repository. He also maintains his own test packages of Chromium

Important/Security

PLEASE READ THIS INFO: Before using these TESTING repositories you must know that they are there just for testing, and most of the time not updated regularly, so versions of Chromium browser can be outdated and with multiple known vulnerabilities (which are fixed in newer versions), and they are not meant for everyday use.

I see a lot of people point to this page and/or repository as an answer to "How to install chromium on fedora?", and probably most people don't read the whole page and part about unofficial testing packages.

Also there is a link on this page for another unofficial repository for Chromium browser on COPR Category:Copr

Be careful with unofficial and testing repositories! (Use them only if you know what are you doing!)

Google Chrome

Since Chromium is upstream for Google Chrome, all the same issues apply. In addition to that, Fedora does not include Google Chrome because it is a proprietary product and bundles other proprietary software such as Adobe Flash plugin. However, Google does maintain a yum repository for Fedora at
