All addresses from 127.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255 are on your machine. They are called loopback addresses (because they loop back to you).

Re: chromium will not start
It means likely it crashed while it had the profile locked and the program is too stupid to reclaim the lost lock. That seems to be a really common bug in a lot of programs. They test the lock/unlock and make sure other separate copies won't use the profile when another process is using it, but developers all think their program won't crash so there is no way to lose a lock. and so they forget to handle the program crashing with the profile being locked and lose the lock.
