I was getting the same error with Vivaldi and could launch it using this command:

$ vivaldi-stable  %U --password-store=basic

Maybe this can launch google-chrome too. I am not sure what the original problem has been in my case and how this fixes it.

Reference.

UPDATE 1:

Well I have some more info on possible cause of my issue. I noticed that Evolution was not also running properly. It was not able to sync the imap folders. I use fingerprint login in Ubuntu 20.04 and after logging in, it always used to ask for my actual password when launching Vivaldi.

This time, I noticed that after logging in with fingerprint it did not ask for a password when trying to launch Vivaldi and as mentioned above, Vivaldi didn't launch either.

So I logged out and logged back in my password. This time, both Vivaldi and Evolution worked fine.

"Solving Google Chrome's gpu-process error message in Ubuntu Linux" worked for me.

google-chrome --disable-gpu --disable-software-rasterizer

It disables GPU hardware acceleration. If software renderer is not in place, then the GPU process won't launch.

You need to delete configurations:

rm -rdf ~/.config/google-chrome

Also maybe you need to delete the cache:

rm -rdf ~/.cache/google-chrome

Please note that this will reset your google chrome completely. Just like you installed it fresh.
