Google has decided that GTK+ was no longer meeting its requirements and decided to push its own solution for Google Chrome, in the form of Aura. The heralded GTK+x replacement for the Chrome browser has a downside for the Linux users, which are now forced to downgrade to an older version.
When Google decided to replace GTK+ with Aura, the immediate consequences were not obvious from the start. Now that users have adopted the new Google Chrome 35, people have started to discover that Java no longer works in the browser. This is true only for the Linux platform.
Along with the GTK+ 2 support, Google has also removed the support for the NPAPI plugins, which also includes Java, and it doesn't matter if it's the Oracle version or OpenJDK. As you can imagine, there are many websites that need Java, so this is likely to become a major problem for the Linux users.
they don't support centos 6 either which is supported till 2020 -
let them remove themselves from the market. it is their browser and if they don't want people to use it I guess that is their choice.
Why anyone would want to use a browser from snooping big brother Google is beyond me...
