That is the true death of SL6. No google-chrome or other modern browser.

There is firefox, true, but latest versions of firefox do wierd stuff and
basically quickly approach unusable. With firefbox user base does not single
digits it's only a question when firefox cannot open common web sites.

But as likely as not, your SL6 computer is the size of a raspberry pi,
universally available for $100, comes with raspbian/debian linux, no
centos linux confusion needs to apply.
