How to run a Google Chrome browser

[jcubic]

I've tried to run Chrome browser but got an error:

$ httptap --head -- /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable
[783726:783726:0220/203820.487181:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(100)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.
subprocess exited with code 1

If you happen to have the bandwidth for this, it would be very helpful if you could try this out on the branch from #32. I need to test that branch more before merging but you could try it like this:

git checkout match-original-uid
go build
./httptap --head -- /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable

The underlying issue here is that httptap creates a user namespace, and currently it runs the subprocess as the root user within that namespace. The branch above improves upon this.

I would add how to build from source to the README. Including git clone and info about installation of golang.

Got SSL/TLS about invalid cert errors even on new tab. You need to add CA cert to the repository and use that CA to sign the self signed cert that is used by the tool. Or instruction how to do this yourself.
