Running as root without sandbox isn't supported

[ratpunk2]

When running the linkfinder, I am getting the following error:

[26309:26309:0811/183054.882273:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(100)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported

is there anyway to resolve this? I know this error is related to google chrome but I can't find a way to solve it.
