I'm getting this error on Chromium version 101.0.4951.54 (Official Build) (64-bit).

I followed the instructions on the main page exactly.

Edited manifest.json and pasted in client_id. Checked over and over and I'm sure it's entered correctly. Developer mode is enabled and extension is loaded with no errors.

Tried entering youtube.com and google.com under "Authorized domains" on "OAuth consent screen", made no difference.

Can't figure out what I could be doing wrong, unless the extension simply isn't working anymore.

Solution: Chromium Settings -> You and Google -> Sync and Google Services -> Turn on "Allow Chromium sign-in".
