Title: Chromium access to Google services
Author: Stephan Hartmann <sultan@gentoo.org>
Content-Type: text/plain
Posted: 2021-03-09
Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 2.0
Display-If-Installed: www-client/chromium

Starting March 15th, 2021 Google Chrome Team will restrict access to
Google APIs and services that are reserved for Google use only. This
means that users are no longer able to login into their Google Accounts
which disables access to for example Chrome Sync.

As a consequence we have to remove Client ID and secret from all
www-client/chromium ebuilds. This change has already been done for
=www-client/chromium-89.0.4389.82. Other versions will be updated
shortly.

If you need one of the Google use only APIs, then you either have to
switch to www-client/google-chrome{-beta,-unstable} or setup your own
keys [1]. However, the latter is only intended for development.

Best regards,
