Google has turned off access to sync features for Chromium
I'll keep using Chromium rather than Chrome.<p>I don't need sync that badly. If enough people are fed up by Google's cut, they will probably build an open alternative soon...<p>But we can see a pattern: if you rely on companies (either as a paying customer or as a user of their open free APIs or source offering), you may be let down. Can't happen to open community projects like Wikipedia (happy birthday, btw!).<p>So a major reason (for anyone, certainly for me) to use open projects is continuity! Anythink proprietary can go anytime.
