Thanks Brian (and everyone) ...
I did the apt dist-upgrade and got these error messages:
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.4.0-148-generic
(x86_64)
Error! Module version 4.3.40_Ubuntu for vboxguest.ko
Error! Module version 4.3.40_Ubuntu for vboxsf.ko
Error! Module version 4.3.40_Ubuntu for vboxvideo.ko
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.4.0-148-generic
(x86_64)
I captured and could post the entire process,
but noticed these errors as the process scrolled by.
And, after running all this, chrome still opens to
a blank or black screen but with the title bar showing
the page to which it opened.
Everything was working fine before I did the first
regular update/upgrade yesterday. Bummer.

apt upgrade only does a partial upgrade on your system and if that's
all you do, your system can get into a place where dependencies get
out of wack and the system breaks.
instead do:
apt full-upgrade
or
apt dist-upgrade
They both do the exact same exact thing, except full upgrade is the
new name for dist upgrade option becuase too many people only did
upgrade because they were afraid that dist-upgrade would actually
upgrade their distribution to the new version... it doesn't. It just
tells your system to upgrade all the packages, where plain old upgrade
tells the system to only upgrade packages that don't require any
additional packages to installed or uninstalled.... which can leave
security problems on your system if the update requires additional
packages to be installed.
If you've been doing only upgrade for a really long time; be prepared
for some broken dependencies that wouldn't have happened if you had
done dist-upgrades instead.... Hopefully apt's dependency calculator
will just take care of it for you and all will be good with the world
again.

Thanks to Matthew and Michael Butash for suggestions.
I did a new system update:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
And I have tried removing and reinstalling chrome,
but it still won't work.
Everything else seems to be working okay now.
Not sure how to do the "journalctl" thing.
Firefox works fine, but I still hope to get chrome working.
Any other suggestions?

I've had ibus break, which tends to break everything.
Would be worth using journalctl -f as root while launching
to see what the system is complaining about >
Have you tried a clean user profile? Ibus tends to be
user dependent ... to test just to log in as another user
