The below was posted on CentOS mailing list sometime ago.

OK guys,

Here is the test version of Chromium  version 28 for CentOS-6 (the
current beta release).

http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/chromium/6/

You can copy the repo file from there into /etc/yum.repo.d/ and then
issue the command:

yum install chromium

The package is signed by the CentOS-6-Testing key.

Here is the git repo where the build script (source) and instructions
are located:

https://github.com/hughesjr/chromium_el_builder

If you already have chrome installed, you will want to remove it and
remove the yum repo for chrome as it will get no more updates.

We can not distribute the pepperflash or libpdf viewer from Google
Chrome due to licensing restrictions, but you can download these two
scripts from the github repo and run them either as root or as a user
with sudo access to install those two libraries:

chrome_libpdf_copy.sh:
https://raw.github.com/hughesjr/chromium_el_builder/master/chrome_libpdf_copy.sh

chrome_pepperflash_copy.sh:
https://raw.github.com/hughesjr/chromium_el_builder/master/chrome_pepperflash_copy.sh

Lets get this tested and vetted and we can maybe move it to CentOS
Extras when Chome is upgraded to the 28 version in production.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

I installed it and did not have any issues
~]$ rpm -qa | grep chrom
chromium-28.0.1500.52-207119.x86_64
