While this may feel like a bug, it's actually a shift. Big tech companies like Google are rapidly moving toward on-device AI, where your laptop or phone does the processing instead of the cloud.
How thoughtful of them... Right after RAM and storage got so inexpensive and accessible too! /s
I keep thinking back to to the tweens when crypto miners would infect computers. IMO same strategy. Why buy the compute (Data Centers) when you can crowdsource it?
Don't give Google any ideas! If Google or another company could figure out how to technically squeeze consent out of users for any spare CPU cycles, I swear they will. They've done it before!
Meh. It's better than sending that data to the cloud. Local AI is the future.
Scam and phishing detection alone are worth it. I also consider the grammar checking worth it but I'm a writer so others might not feel the same 🤷
don't worry your data will still be sent to the cloud, they're just offloading the compute to you.
in seriousness, i agree local is probably the future. just hopefully in a way that consumers own their data.
Chrome is banned on my devices, including Android ones.
i wish i could do this, but sites that only work with chrome have been increasing.
i should run it as a container only.

this is what I use to interact with the websites of companies like that. hope it works for you

Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
