Completely breaks Thunderbird, too, of course.
Background is probably that they want to track users using the cookies
in the main browser, so the user can't isolate accounts and main browser
anymore, nor different accounts from each other, because all
applications will just launch the system browser, at which point Google
already has the ping they need.

Seems like an interesting breaking change. I wonder how this affects
Firefox for iOS?

Subject: Soon Google will no longer allow OAuth requests to Google in
web-views

Hello all,
See article here:
https://developers.googleblog.com/2016/08/modernizing-oauth-interactions-in-native-apps.html
```
In contrast, the outdated method of using embedded browsers for OAuth
means a user must sign-in to Google each time, instead of using the
existing logged-in session from the device. The device browser also
provides improved security as apps are able to inspect and modify
content in a web-view, but not content shown in the browser.
```
