Google's web browser has been "silently" installing an AI model on users' devices without asking for consent.

    TL;DR:

    • Chrome downloads a 4GB AI model without any user-facing option to disable this behaviour.
    • Use another browser to avoid this, e.g. a Firefox employee stated that the AI kill-switch will completely stop such features in Firefox (Source: Techlore Talks). Other alternatives are Brave, Vivaldi, Waterfox and many more. Choose what fits your needs.
