how to "user namespace sandboxing for ungoogled chromium"
 
Hi, I wanted to download and use portable ungoogled chromium on slackware current. https://ungoogled-software.github.io...mium-binaries/

I only managed to run it with --no-sandbox. Then i noticed there is a newer ungoogled chromium package from alienbob so I installed it but when i try to run it still says "Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported"

Is this happening because im trying to run it as root (I didn't make user account yet) or because namespace sandboxing is somehow disabled and I have to enable it(how do i do that?) I would like to be able to run it as root with namespace sandboxing.

the exact error I get is:

[5743:5743:0412/192331.085240:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(90)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.

It is because you're running it as root. More and more software are getting exceptions in their code to prevent running the software as root because it opens up massive security issues.

Thanks alot. Making user account solved problem and now chromium runs with sandboxing on.
