Google just gave me the best reason ever to uninstall Chrome

Google Chrome is facing backlash after reports that it silently downloaded a 4GB Gemini Nano model to users’ devices.

The model reportedly powers on-device AI features such as writing help, browsing assistance, and scam detection.

Critics say the download may have happened without clear user consent and could be difficult to remove, with possible re-downloads.

The behavior has raised privacy, storage, and legal concerns, especially under U.K. and EEA rules.
