Google Chrome silently installs 4 GB Gemini Nano AI model to user device without consent

Google Chrome is silently auto-installing a 4 GB Gemini Nano AI model file on user devices without any consent, enabling AI features by default. Users must disable AI features completely or uninstall Chrome to remove this large AI model file.

If you use #Edge — and you probably shouldn’t — don’t use its password management function.

My current recommendation is to use at least two browsers. One for things you log into (I use #Vivaldi for that purpose) and one set to wipe its history on exit (#Firefox or a fork) with an ad blocker (such as Ad Nauseum) configured.

Close the wiping browser between tasks. Let the wiping browser be your default.

The 2+ browser strategy won’t give you privacy but it will lessen the bullshit and slightly decrease your vulnerability to certain types of attacks.

Do you know why everyone should be on edge ? Not that Edge, but you should. Really. Especially on Windows 11.

Microsoft Edge keeps all saved passwords in cleartext in RAM for the entire session, making memory scraping easier for attackers 🖥️
The behavior is “by design,” unlike Chrome, and highlights the risks of storing credentials in browsers instead of using password managers 🔑

Edge laisserait traîner les mots de passe en clair dans la mémoire

Il y a visiblement des trous dans la raquette du gestionnaire de mots de passe intégré à Edge. Selon le chercheur Tom Jøran Sønstebyseter Rønning, le navigateur de Microsoft charge tous les mots de passe enregistrés sous forme de texte accessible en ...
