It's dissapointing frankly.
Disappointing doesn't really catch it tho. If it would be just about the sync functionality: so be it. But crippling the API usage on a level that rips out especially things like the safe browsing functionality as well places chromium knowingly and forcefully into a position that doesn't make it viable to be distributed to users. I'm incredibly mad that his is literally a situation where the open source world is soaked up and in return a big clear "screw you guys, we don't care" sign is raised. Well played, exploiting a monopoly position like this and literally cheating on the open source community all around them. PS: firefox is affected by safe browsing keys as well.
