From Chromium Blog of January 15, 2021:
Google has decided to limiting (stop) access to his private Chrome APIs starting on March 15, 2021.

News on Woolyss Chromium of February 28, 2021https://chromium.woolyss.com/
News
About the sync versions of Chromium: Google will restrict access to private Chrome APIs from March 15, 2021.
It means you will be able to syncronize your data only if you use your own #google-api-keys https://chromium.woolyss.com/#google-api-keys
(Official post and discussion https://blog.chromium.org/2021/01/limit ... ty-in.html • Other discussion at Hackaday https://hackaday.com/2021/01/26/whats-t ... intainers/)
The website about the command line flags list (by Peter Beverloo https://peter.sh/) is currently down. So I made a copy of the Google's cache: HTML https://chromium.woolyss.com/f/HTML-lis ... tches.html

Workaround, very detailled, on GitHubGist https://gist.github.com/cvan/44a6d60457 ... b104f9dcc4 for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux (all distributions).
This post of cvan (Christopher Robert Van Wiemeersch) has already 80 stars and 16 Forks.

Workaround file:
1. it is inside file 'set-up-chromium-keys.md' https://gist.github.com/cvan/44a6d60457 ... um-keys-md (open this file with Notepad++ -> Language -> Markdown)
2. download as ZIP https://gist.github.com/cvan/44a6d60457 ... bc5d38.zip and extract the .md file.

After March 15, 2021 You will can:
1. download Marmaduke's builds (on Woolyss Chromium) -> Ungoogled Chromium and replace binaries of winPenPack distribution (32 or 64 bit)
2. use 'Ungoogled Chromium Portable' by Portapps https://portapps.io/app/ungoogled-chromium-portable/
3. use Firefox Portable (with Rust engine).
4. only if You are really desperate, try Google Chrome

Good luck.

By the Way
Marmaduke creates Ungoogled Chromium for Windows 32, Windows 64, Mac OS X (only 64 bit) and Android 5.0+.

Quick note: on Android, I'd recommend everyone to consider replacing the Chrome based system webview with Bromite's...
The SystemWebView package contains the core browser/rendering engine of Bromite and its same features; it offers the possibility to replace the default browser component for the whole Android system.

https://github.com/henrypp/chrlauncher

It does everything unofficial Chromium Portable used to do, but supports other builds of Chromium (like Ungoogled Chromium) by changing a value in its .ini file. I've been using this for the past couple of years and it works very well.
I think we need to consider switching X-Chromium to chrlauncher.

X-Chromium is severely outdated and we should not keep outdated software in the database.
is it stealth? ;)

Yeah good catch -- I saw you added a warning and I'm fully on board with this. The number of Chrome zero-day vulnerabilties that have come up this year is reason enough. If there are no objections, I'll move the most over by this time next week.

It didn't escape my notice that you made this suggestion before -- thanks for the reminder.

Actually, you added the warning before. I just changed "Chromium" to "X-Chromium" since X-Chromium is the one that is out-of-date and not Chromium.
