Launch Chromium with API Keys on Mac OS X and Windows

Last Updated: March 2023

IMPORTANT: Ignore the out-of-date steps below for getting Chromium keys.

Instead, read this up-to-date guide (Jan 2023) written by @LearningToPi.

P.S. Thank you to every contributor below who provided tips over the years on what should be a straightforward process: setting up Chromium for local development.

Long live the web!
