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.

All tech companies are scum. Some less than others, but all walk the same path.
Linux and Brave works for me. I wouldn't use Google or Microsoft or Apple unless there's no other option. I don't seem to need them
AI bloat ruined my gaming laptop. AI bloat is ruining smartphones even worse.
Firefox gives you the option to turn off AI at least...
Thanks Google forgiving people reasons to not use Chrome. Duck Duck Go is looking more interesting now...
Lin̈ux Mint. 'Nuff.said.
I thought I was being paranoid , but I was not, I have an older laptop, not internet connected .
Chrome is now ruined by AI slop.
Google search has also been changed so it closes tabs and takes you straight to the Google AI page.
