Will it be non-free?

I think I like this idea… cause some may not want to use Google APIs.

Actually I would also like to see a way to *shut* up Chromium if api keys are 
missing. Actually I didn´t even see any issue using Chromium without API keys… 
so I just placed a file with them there to silence that annoying warning.

If it at least only warned *once*. But its nagging on every start. I already 
consider looking at the source and ifdef out the code that shows the warning 
completely.

Its free software after all, or is it?

(And no offence meant… looking forward to test with your separate api keys 
package and IMO, its Sid / Testing for a reason, I can drop my own file there 
for the time being.)

Ciao,
