Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Start the browser

What is the expected behavior?
The browser window opens

What went wrong?
> google-chrome-bin
Illegal instruction
Exit 132

The exception occurs immediately, no browser window even opens.

Crashed report ID: 

How much crashed? Whole browser

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 57.0.2987.110  Channel: n/a
OS Version: Source Mage rolling release
Flash Version: none

From the disassemble of where the illegal instruction happened it seems that it is an explicit illegal instruction (ud2) and not some instruction that is not supported because the CPU is too old. According to the process memory map the instruction is within the chrome binary itself and not part of any loaded shared object. Unfortunately the chrome binary seems to be stripped so I have no idea what function it is in. What is terribly frustrating is that there is no usable output anywhere to tell me what is wrong. It may very well be some kind of configuration issue on my end, but without knowing what action failed or what condition is false I have no clue where to even begin to address this problem.

If anything the bug report is about the fact that chromium shouldn't just throw up its hands and jump to an explicit illegal instruction without first telling the user what went wrong.

FYI, I originally encountered the same problem using Vivaldi and then decided to try Chrome as well to make sure that it wasn't a Vivaldi specific problem. The failure pattern is exactly the same for both. An illegal instruction exception on a ud2 instruction with the same disassembly around it.
