I had been wanting to experiment with Google Chrome a bit – but I could not get it to work on my system. It simply would not open any pages, and always had the “Oh Snap” error page.

Finally – and I forgot where – I ran across the issue of making a change in /etc/fstab.

Check out the relevant bits:

# For Security Purposes (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StricterDefaults)
#tmpfs                                          /dev/shm        tmpfs           defaults,ro                             0  0
# Changing above to try to get Google Chrome to work:
tmpfs                                           /dev/shm        tmpfs           nodev,nosuid,noexec,rw                  0  0
