Description bourne.identity@hotmail.com 2020-02-17 08:07:17 UTC 
I am on FreeBSD 12.1 amd64. Yesterday I installed the chromium package. On starting Chromium, I signed in to my Google account and turned on sync. But the browser failed to sync my passwords/theme/extensions.

Today, I deleted the chromium package. Then I updated my ports tree and built the www/chromium port. But the browser still fails to sync.

To be double sure that this is a FreeBSD issue, I booted into Linux Mint and installed chromium-browser. On turning on sync, the browser immediately synced my passwords/theme/extensions.

I am seeing the same issue:

Version 79.0.3945.130 (Official Build) (64-bit)

truss output if it is helpful:

Me too, I wonder if it's a problem with the API key used by the FreeBSD project?
Comment 3 Danil Yarantsev 2020-06-06 16:23:46 UTC 
I'm having the same issue. Not sure which logs would be useful since chrome://sync-internals is showing all counters at 0

Also there's a forum thread - https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/chrome-sync-not-working.73991
Comment 4 Robert Nagy 2020-06-23 06:37:25 UTC 
OpenBSD was suffering from the same issue.
The fix is here:

Comment 8 Ulrich Spörlein freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-07-01 15:24:28 UTC 
While this update brings back sync, now U2F using security keys crashes the browser again, meaning I can no longer sign in to Google, Github or other sites with a security key
:(
