I noticed that chromium was now in the fedora repo, so I installed it. It turns out that pepperflash is not included, but I found freshplayerplugin on rpmfusion. I was not able to get it working (the audio/video/ebooks from the public library services, such as overdrive, hoopla, Naxos Music Library, did not work).
There was already a google-chrome-stable repo in yum.repos.d from before, so I updated chrome. This is where the problems/confusion began...
1. google-chome-stable is no longer located in /usr/bin 2. no links appear in the launcher (easy to create manually) 3. dead links to the executable in /usr/bin and /etc/alternatives 4. chrome is now installed to /opt 5. the google chome repo file has vanished from yum.repos.d 6. privacy badger does not recognize chrome in /opt and no amount of uninstalling, closing down chrome, restarting and freshly installing the badger would get it to work
So...
Can I manually create the google-chrome-stable repo file and will it now update the version installed to /opt, or is this going to cause a big mess?
Or, do I henceforth have to uninstall chrome and reinstall for every new upgrade?
