Your custom browser might be getting detected as a MITM attack on your account.

If that is the case, take a look at https://security.googleblog.com/2019/04/better-protection-ag... for the official statement and at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59480956/browser-or-app-... and all the resources that it links to for some workarounds.

Mmmh, I considered a MITM attack an interception. While maybe making a custom browser (that obviously have access to the webpage) could be considered as "In the Middle" I do not think the definition sticks to it, but they seem to do, given your link. I understand the reasoning but I dont share it, it sort of make sense, but doesnt. If someone got to install a "Chrome Embedded Framework" then they already bypassed the "(in)secure screen", but I see how this could be a problem..
