But getting this error:

Error: Package: google-chrome-stable-61.0.3163.79-1.x86_64 (google-chrome) Requires: libssl3.so(NSS_3.28)(64bit)

Error: Package: google-chrome-stable-61.0.3163.79-1.x86_64 (google-chrome) Requires: libnss3.so(NSS_3.22)(64bit)

How can i solve this problem??? please help..

Answer 1

The problem is likely that Fedora 21 does not have libraries new enough to support the recent build of Chrome you've downloaded. Fedora 21 on December 1st, 2015 — almost two years ago — and has not been receiving security updates or fixes since then. Please update to the current release (right now, Fedora 26).

I can verify for sure that nss in Fedora 26 does provide the required versions for libnss, so that will solve this problem.
