Google Chrome Installs AI on Your PC WITHOUT Your Permission.

Tech

Google Chrome apparently installs a 4GB AI agent on your computer without explicit user permission to... something something... help with malware. Even though some would consider that just as intrusive as malware. It can be toggled off, but you have to dig and most users won't bother. The real reason, some users are speculating, is to justify the insane amount of money Google is spending on Gemini by inflating the usage.

Never use a browser that forces you to watch 30 minutes of commercials for every 10 minutes of video you watch.

The more they try to force something, the less tolerance I have for it.

There's an easier way to get rid of that AI. Delete the Crome browser and don't look back.

So that's why my PC has been hanging weirdly lately. This AI model is eating my RAM. Need to disable it fast.

Worse the deal between Palantir and Nvidia places the AI directly onto the chip. Does anybody think these data centers are about cute pictures and helping you write?

Thank you for this. I didn't know. I have uninstalled the offending software entirely. They will still end up installing it regardless of your setup as long as the offending software is still on your machine.

This is what happens when companies are allowed to update their tools and force you to submit or lose the ability to use the tool.
