I think needs a clear step by step documentation to enable and install third party repo / apps. I didn’t figure out how to do it in GS.

Google Chrome is proprietary software. It is not packaged in Fedora.

You'll have to get it from Google: https://www.google.com/chrome/
Click the download button, choose the RPM option, it'll set up a repo for Chrome, and it downloads from there.
Afterwards, whenever you do a dnf update (or use a GUI tool), your system will check for Chrome updates along with everything else on your system.
after enable third party repo, GS (on f31) does not find any rpm packages, only flatpak's

It shouldn't really matter what front end you use. If it, gnome- software, uses yum or dnf behind the scenes, or it uses something else which uses yum or dnf, then having the google-chrome.repo installed (and installing google-chrome) should be all you needed to do.
I'm using Mate. I installed the google-chrome.repo (via the method I outlined in a prior message), it installed into the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory. I use "dnf update" (on the command line) to keep my system up-to-date, and dnf uses those yum repos. But, if I used one of the GUI tools, it would, as well.
