[BUG] version `GLIBC_2.18' not found while launching Chromium, with v1.15.0

Context:

Playwright Version: 1.15.0
Operating System: Docker CentOS 7
Node.js version: 14.16
Browser: Chromium
Extra: It’s our Jenkins CI environment where we install Playwright Browsers in the Docker (centOS7)

Describe the bug

The issue started happening when we upgraded Playwright from 1.11.1 to 1.15.0. It does not launch the chromium browser and throws an error,

[pid=4303][err] /usr/lib/playwright/chromium-920619/chrome-linux/chrome: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.18' not found (required by /usr/lib/playwright/chromium-920619/chrome-linux/chrome)

When I switch back to v.1.11.1, everything works fine but v1.15.0 needs GLIBC_2.18 on CentOS7. This is blocking us from upgrading.

How do we resolve this issue?

OK I already checked it in the Docker’s centos:centos7 image.

Turns out Chromium bumped it’s GLIBC revision; I bisected it down to this range: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+log/08c30cf9e1370433a06980161e2b754c4b903e98..f61b6ea07f5050320e886b862379fdc8e36b3286

Anyway, there are no plans to support CentOS right now; if you’d like one, please file a separate issue requesting CentOS! If it gets lots of demand, we’ll prioritize it!

@udit0802 please try downloading & running the chromium build on this configuration:
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/Linux_x64/920625/chrome-linux.zip

Could you please guide with the steps, are any changes required in the configuration of playwright from my end, or do you want me install manually this zip on centos machine?
