I think there was a fairly brief hiatus in google-chrome-stable
in Fedora-24, which has been cured by the most recent update.

ls -ls /usr/bin/google*
Sep  4 12:19 /usr/bin/google-chrome -> /etc/alternatives/google-chrome
Sep  2 00:20 /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable -> /opt/google/chrome/google-
chrome
ls -ls /etc/alternatives/google-chrome 
Sep  4 12:19 /etc/alternatives/google-chrome -> /usr/bin/google-chrome-
stable
