Hi. I am trying to activate Google Sync services on Chromium (on MacBook Apple Silicon). I have generated my google API key (and client ID, client secret) and set them as environment variable, but it does not activate google sync. It always says I am not "signed in". 
Has anybody been successful in this?

I think this is not actually possible in Chromium builds. It is no longer possible for individuals to generate their own keys in a way that is accepted by Google servers.
