      That’s why i use Firefox and will not update it, especially if my life is at stake.

      As if Chrome needed any more help eating up my RAM and storage at the same time.

      me with 12 terabytes of storage look for a needle in a stack of needles.

      Every company now puts their AI models in their product, which in return ballons the size of the storage.

      How do you look for it? Is it in program data or something?

      Does it also impact Chrome on mobile? I unfortunately use that browser on my phone

      The amount of misinformation spreading cause of one dumb blog is astonishing. Chrome always had llm model built in for various tasks. Even before this AI saga. This is an opt in feature that includes a local llm model that runs offline. So some light weight tasks can be run offline. If you opt out it won’t add that extra “4 gb” instead use cloud model everytime.

      Edit: Also this isn’t a “mysterious spy shenanigans”. [Here’s the detailed document](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/ai?_gl=1*11f5q9s*_up*MQ..*_gs*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAjwzevPBhBaEiwAplAxvsfrU3A9MYQulyo3921bjxVVFO96C-iHbpzChRzcaX-D83QjqDTmzRoCCzkQAvD_BwE&gbraid=0AAAAAC1d8f5jhxkFoxnrnM-5NyZxjvXtA) from Google explaining the same, and ways for developers to use that model to power their websites.

      Reminds me of the “everything is better stoned” stoner. Just with AI. Have you ever looked at the stars with AI?

      The other brousers are pretty good now. Firefox seems to be a pretty good option that actually has its AI stuff optional.

      Google just moving a whole 4gb ai roommate into my hard drive without asking and not even making it pay rent is wild lmao.

      I use an application that force uninstalls programs no matter how ingrained they try and make themselves. Haven’t dealt with chrome or microsoft edge in years because I refuse to have their bloatware on anything

      Haven’t used Chrome for years and when I have to open it for my tech-illiterate workplace I treat it like I’m opening a bag of shit to fertilize soil.

      I have 4 accounts on my personal laptop and it installed that file on all four accounts (personal, work, wife’s, wife’s work).
