So it seems that
HasOAuthClientConfigured
is false, so I have created a patch to hide the whole bar in that case as it seems all the functionality is working as expected.If it were necessary to obtain a proper
OAuth
key, these are the steps to request it http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys (Slightly clearer here https://gist.github.com/cvan/44a6d60457b20133191bd7b104f9dcc4)https://console.cloud.google.com/projectselector/apis/credentials/oauthclient
And then adding them to the
args.gn
I think we just need to hide the whole bar instead of just the learn more which was done previously. I talked to @w0ts0n and he said the safe browsing stuff is working correctly, and also the geolocations stuff is working correctly.
