How to Fix Google Chrome Issue in a Jiffy
If you are unable to connect to the Internet using Google Chrome, here's an easy fix.
.
The sandbox feature is a security feature that protects you against malware infections while you surf the internet.
The “-no-sandbox” switch will only work if you launch Google Chrome via the desktop icon. If you click on a hyperlink in a mail message for instance, Chrome will ignore the -no-sandbox switch.
What you can try though, if nothing else works, is checking the compatibility settings of your Google Chrome desktop icon.
Right-click the Google Chrome icon on your desktop and select “Properties”.
Then, in the Google Chrome properties window, on the “Compatibility” tab, make sure that the “Run this program in compatibility mode for” checkbox is UN-checked.
I hope this fix will help you out with the issue but I'd suggest you to use this as a temporary fix.

The No Sandbox “Solution”
I’ve seen people who weren’t sure how to reset Google Chrome circumvent their problem by adding the “-no-sandbox” command at the end of the target field in the Google Chrome desktop icon. Personally, I would not suggest you do this because:- Right click on the desktop shortcut to Chrome and select Properties.
- Move to the Shortcut tab and click in the Target field.
- Type a space at the end of the path that appears in the field followed by --no-sandbox.
- Hit OK, and use the shortcut to launch Chrome.
