Maybe outline that this will only affect browser functions. You can
still log in into your Google Account when accessing
https://accounts.google.com/.
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.

As explained in section above, signing in to Google web is rate
limited if the developer has configured a client ID and client
secret. To avoid hitting this limit in Chromium Derivatives, please
remove the OAuth 2.0 client ID and client secret from your build
configuration.

As quantitative feedback helps, I second this! I had the exact same
reaction.

That said, I wonder if there's a use case to allow users to bake-in
custom credentials. I know at least one large Gentoo setup distributing
Firefox to its users with custom keys. This is possible via environment
variables set at build time, see
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/www-client/firefox/firefox-86.0.ebuild?id=dfe26277ee7441d00d88da14691cfc48db85ac8a#n453
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].
Should be
www-client/google-chrome{,-beta,-unstable}
^^^
However, the latter is only intended for development. Documentation
on how to generate and use own keys can be found in [2].
I wouldn't mention that at all. Either there is suitable way to keep
status quo or there isn't.
My suggestion:

environment variable at runtime (and or build-time if you are going to
support that) or add reference to [2] again.>

As a consequence, we must remove both the Client ID and secret(s) from the
www-client/chromium ebuilds in Gentoo.

Hi, Russian translation follows.

Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 2.0
Display-If-Installed: www-client/chromium
С 15 марта 2021 команда Google Chrome ограничит доступ к Google API и службам,
зарезервированным для использования самим Google. Это означает, что
пользователи больше не смогут войти в учётную запись Google и потому у них не
будет доступа к, например, Chrome Sync.
Поэтому нам приходится удалить из www-client/chromium Client ID и ключи. Мы уже
удалили их из =www-client/chromium-89.0.4389.82, остальные версии будут
обновлены в ближайшем будущем.
Если вам нужен доступ к этим API, вам нужно либо перейти на
www-client/google-chrome{-beta,-unstable}, либо установить ваши собственные
ключи [1], что, однако, предназначено только для разработки. Инструкцию по
созданию и использованию собственных ключей можно найти здесь [2].
