Google has turned off access to sync features for Chromium
I'll keep using Chromium rather than Chrome.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...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!).So a major reason (for anyone, certainly for me) to use open projects is continuity! Anythink proprietary can go anytime.
