Google dropped<\/a> the support of its Google Chrome browser on 32-bit Linux operating systems. \u00a0This is very unfortunate, but not deadly. \u00a0This change doesn’t affect the Chromium browser<\/a> – the Open Source project behind Google Chrome.<\/p>\n

\"Chromium-vs-Google-Chrome\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The two are very compatible. \u00a0In fact, if you use the Google Sync in Google Chrome to synchronize your passwords, bookmarks, settings, etc. to Google, then Chromium will just pick them all up from there, once you login. \u00a0All your extensions will get installed and will continue working as well.<\/p>\n

Here’s a link for those Fedora users who want to perform a manual installation. \u00a0Using dnf is probably easier:<\/p>\n

\r\ndnf copr enable spot\/chromium\r\ndnf install chromium\r\n<\/pre>\n
Hopefully, 32-bit Linux Chromium will survive much longer…<\/p>\n
Update<\/strong>: \u00a0Here is how to bring back Flash plugin, for those who need it:<\/p>\n
\r\nwget http:\/\/mirror.yandex.ru\/fedora\/russianfedora\/russianfedora\/nonfree\/fedora\/updates\/23\/i386\/chromium-pepper-flash-20.0.0.306-1.fc23.R.i686.rpm\r\nfile-roller --extract-here .\/chromium-pepper-flash-20.0.0.306-1.fc23.R.i686.rpm\r\nmv usr\/lib\/chromium\/PepperFlash \/usr\/lib\/chromium-browser\/\r\n<\/pre>\n
