Unix & Linux: What does the Chromium option `--no-sandbox` mean?


The Question: I'm running Chromium like so : chromium --no-sandbox
I'm doing this because I'm running Debian Squeeze on an OpenVZ VM Container and
it's the only way I can get it to work.
Though I keep reading this is terrible. But I want to know why exactly. Can
someone please explain it to me?
Does someone need to hack into your computer to do damage? Or does the
vulnerability come from a file on the web like a JavaScript file?
What if I locked browsing down to only a handful of "trusted" sites? (Gmail,
stackexchange (ofcourse), and facebook)
