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

    Chrome chromium and any chromium based browser has the passwords as plaintext in dumps problem… sadly all talking just about edge or the AI model. Scared about privacy but not about plaintext passwords 🤣

      Do you have any better reference than another comment of yours that got zero visibility?

      Screenshots would go a long way.

      All these data centers are expensive. What if we made the users run the AI models! Brilliant!
