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 credentials

And then adding them to the args.gn

google_api_key = "your_api_key"
google_default_client_id = "your_client_id"
google_default_client_secret = "your_client_secret"

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.
