Hello,

AL2 dont support latest version of google chrome, so updgrade your instance to AL2023.

** Else Use Chromium **

$ `sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel -y`

$ `sudo yum install -y chromium`

=================

Also try below method to install google chome

```
# sudo yum update -y
# sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools" -y
# sudo yum install -y wget bzip2 gcc make
# curl -LO https://github.com/apple/cups/releases/download/v2.3.3/cups-2.3.3-source.tar.gz
# tar -xvf cups-2.3.3-source.tar.gz
# cd cups-2.3.3
# ./configure
