www-client/chromium update - google sync no longer supported


Recommended Posts

  • Funtoo Linux Developer

Funtoo devs have been very hard at work updating many packages. One of the more notable ones is a new update that brings www-client/chromium to version 91.0.4472.77.

Chromium users please be advised that Google Sync is no longer supported. This is not a decision made by Funtoo. Google has decided to remove the ability to sync with Chromium browsers. If you would like to learn more about this you can read here:
