debian run chrome as root
25 Nov 2013- Open google-chrome located in /usr/bin with 'gedit', 'kate' or your favorite text editor.
Code: gedit /usr/bin/google-chrome 2. Add "--user-data-dir" (without the quotes) at the very end of the file. Mine looks like this:
exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@" --user-data-dir 3. Save, close and run, you're done. Enjoy your favorite browser.
