Starting March 15th, 2021 Google Chrome Team will restrict access to |
16 |
Google APIs and services that are reserved for Google use only. This |
17 |
means that users are no longer able to login into their Google Accounts |
18 |
which disables access to for example Chrome Sync. |
19 |
|
20 |
As a consequence we have to remove Client ID and secret from all |
21 |
www-client/chromium ebuilds. This change has already been done for |
22 |
=www-client/chromium-89.0.4389.82. Other versions will be updated |
23 |
shortly. |
24 |
|
25 |
If you need one of the Google use only APIs, then you either have to |
26 |
switch to www-client/google-chrome{-beta,-unstable} or setup your own |
27 |
keys [1]. However, the latter is only intended for development. |
