The chrome-sandbox helper historically needed the setuid root bit so it could create a restricted sandbox for renderer processes. On modern Linux systems like fedora/rhel, Chromium prefers the user namespace sandbox, which does not require a setuid binary. I will fix it in next build. Thanks for you report!
