root user use chrome browser tip

[coolbyj]

1. vi /usr/bin/google-chrome

2 add " --no-sandbox "

if [[ -n "$CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR" ]]; then
51 # Note: exec -a below is a bashism.
52 exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" \
53 --user-data-dir="$CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR" "$@" --no-sandbox
54 else
55 exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@" --no-sandbox
56 fi

Why? Running the browser as root is dangerous enough, but turning off the sandbox on top of that? I must be missing something.

We don't even advise logging on as the root user via the GUI...
