googles_restriction_for_chromium_and_chromium_os.md

Issue

Unfortunately since 2021-03-15, Google mentioned they will restrict their Oauth & Chrome Sync on Chromium and Chromium OS which are made by third-parties. It means that in Wayne OS, login by Google ID will be rate limited and Chromium browser will not be synced with Google ID. This is not only affect to Wayne OS as there are various browsers/OSs/embedded-SWs are from open source Chromium & Chromium OS project, which have spread Google service and grown up together in the open source environment. However Google seems to decide to take their share against rivals now.

Solution

Different from Chromium, Chromium OS requires Google login to use. Google therefore allows the login in Chromium OS with whitelist. https://github.com/wayne-incorporated/wayne-os/blob/main/docs/en/how-to/signing_in_google_account_in_wayne_os.md
