You're just seeing this now on a 6.7 system? I don't believe that
google-chrome (as provided from the google repositories) has worked
(been installable) on Centos-6.x machines for 2 years or more. [I
just tried to install their current stable-48 on a 6.7 machine and
got the libstdc++.so.6 dependency issue that broke this some time
ago.]
With Centos-7 you'll see that warning banner if/when you update to
48. That release has been in beta since mid-december:
<https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2015-December/156726.html>
and was just pushed out from their "stable" channel late last week.
My message in mid-december didn't elicit any real solution, but
maybe that it's now hitting the stable release for Centos-7 there
might be more interest.
