Recommended action: Run the browser as a non-root user (preferred; create a user in the image), or pass --no-sandbox only in disposable, isolated containers — Chrome treats it as a security-reducing flag.
Option: Run the browser as a non-root user (preferred; create a user in the image), or pass --no-sandbox only in disposable, isolated containers — Chrome treats it as a security-reducing flag. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Launching Chrome/Chromium as uid 0 (default Docker user, CI runners, agent sandboxes) via Selenium, Puppeteer, CDP clients or directly
Steps:
1. Add a non-root user in the Dockerfile and `USER` it.
2. If you must run as root in a throwaway container, add --no-sandbox to the launch args.
Expected: The error no longer appears.
