Tom Calloway has been working on Chromium - and his copr is up-to-date for
anyone who wants to try it.
https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/spot/chromium/

It's been a slow slog working through the issues keeping it from the
official repository, but progress
has been made:  https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=28287

Things have also changed over the years, we now have blink, and
Chrome/Chromium's popularity has continued to grow.  Firefox has exceptions
mainly because it is deemed "to popular" to keep out of the distribution.
Perhaps Chromium has now reached that point.
