That's a really dumb mistake to make. It's frankly disturbing that Google isn't using a good code analysis tool to catch screwups like that.

I got the update yesterday.
I saw on Suse’s page that it is unaffected by the problem.

Why anyone would have anything to do with Google is beyond me. From their beginning they were designing ways for the ChiComs to monitor citizen's browsing... why not Americans also? Why not everyone? Why design two different systems? Cheaper to design one - and use that tracking data to sell to advertisers, to information services, to governments.

Dirty from the beginning. Hey, Eric! How about setting up a server in H3ll?

Huh, dunno. Worked for me (Chrome browser running on MacOS). Haven't tried it on my Windows box yet...

Chromium is the basic skeleton of Chrome, without all of the bloatware/spyware added. It is fully functional, just like Chrome.
