Google Removing Inadvertent Ability for Chromium Browsers To Access Chrome Bookmarks, Sync
Besides the intended differences, web browsers based on Chromium offer an underlying experience that's mostly identical to Chrome. Google recently discovered that users of third-party Chromium browsers have inadvertently been able to access data and other sync features reserved for Chrome. From a report: "Some" Chromium browsers today can leverage features and APIs that are "only intended for Google's use." This includes Click to Call and, notably, Chrome Sync. The latter is responsible for syncing bookmarks, extensions, history, settings, and more across signed-in devices running the first-party browser. As a result, users logged into Google sites on Chromium browsers are able to see their old bookmarks and other data from previous Chrome usage. This inadvertent access was discovered during a recent audit and Google will be "limiting access to [its] private Chrome APIs" from March 15th.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
