Run Chrome under root

Just want to add a permanent solution to the problem:

Open google-chrome located in /usr/bin with 'gedit', 'kate' or your favorite text editor.

$ nano /usr/bin/google-chrome

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
