my idea... create new user and login as new user... then install chrome

if u need root when running command in terminal just : user@kali:~$ su

Open the terminal

enter this command: apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel

after you installed gnome-panel enter command: gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/.local/share/applications --create-new


you will see this window


Name: Google Chrome
Command: /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable %U --no-sandbox

Va la! here is google-chrome shortcut in Desktop

Open the terminal

enter this command: apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel

Any suggestions?

Try opening up the chrome binary in a hex editor and replace the string "geteuid" with "getppid" then then run it as normal.

Worked perfect, thank you

If you still face problem then first remove google chrome.
then apt-get autoremove
apt-get clean
apt-get -f install
apt-get update

now install google chrome dpkg -i filename.deb

now add user : useradd -u chromeuser

run google chrome with this command: gksu -u chromeuser google-chrome

Any suggestions?

gedit /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome
scroll all the way down at exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@"
than add --user-data-dir
it will look like this exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@" --user-data-dir
then save.
at terminal type: google-chrome --no-sandbox

Any less safe than Firefox? That's the thing I don't get. Firefox and Iceweasel work fine as root and they aren't any more secure than chrome.

Ok everybody, so, run this command into your terminal
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nu11secur1ty/OpenSUSE-Architecture_and_Deployment/master/chrome/chrome.sh | bash
