Chrome can run as root  remember to use gksu when doing so  so long as you provide it with a profile directory   Rather than type in the profile directory every time you want to run it  create a new bash file  I d name it something like start-chrome sh     bin bash google-chrome --user-data-dir   root chrome-profile     Rember to call that script with root privelages     gksu  root start-chrome sh

It no longer suffices to start Chrome with --user-data-dir  root  config google-chrome  It simply prints Aborted and ends  Chrome 48 on Ubuntu 12 04    You need actually to run it as a non-root user  This you can do with  gksu -wu chrome-user google-chrome   where chrome-user is some user you ve decided should be the one to run Chrome  Your Chrome user profile will be found at  chrome-user  config google-chrome   BTW  the old hack of changing all occurrences of geteuid to getppid in the chrome binary no longer works
