Description
Describe the bug
I'm getting an authorization error anytime I try to sign into sites using a Google account. The image shows eBay, but any site has the same problem.
How to Reproduce
- Go to a site requiring a Google account to sign in (ex. ebay.com)
- Put details in
- Observe error
Expected behavior
It should sign in. I haven't been able to sign into things for months.
Environment
- DDG App Version: 5.164.2
- Device: Moto G7 Play
- OS: Android 10

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Google-account sign-in flow described in the issue on the listed DDG App Version 5.164.2, Moto G7 Play, and Android 10 environment. Read the authentication-related entry points identified while tracing that flow; done means Google sign-in works for sites such as eBay without the reported authorization error.
