Chrome Wants to Install a 4GB AI Model Without Asking

Your browser — the window to the internet — is about to silently download gigabytes of AI inference engine onto your machine. Whether you want it or not.

Bitcoin taught us one thing: don’t trust, verify. Maybe it’s time to apply that same principle to every piece of software running on your hardware.
