Sorry about not doing a threaded reply (I deleted the message, oops,
and couldn't find the message ID in the online archive).

Actually there are various google APIs that Chromium optionally uses but
require keys, list here
https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys
For example translate is on the list, because Chromium can provide a
context menu that directly translates a web page instead of having to
go to translate.google.com. This won't work without a valid key.
If you just plan on using chromium as a normal browser without such
bells and whistles, don't worry about the keys and get rid of the
warning by setting them as blank when you start up chromium
export GOOGLE_API_KEY=" "
export GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_ID=" "
export GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_SECRET=" "
