alt Hacker NewsThis is article about Chrome doing something undesirable with AI. Which can be easily disabled by going into chrome://flags. And suggestion is to download Firefox which is also doing something undesirable with AI. Which is also can be easily disabled. Seems both browsers are quite similar in this regard, so suggestion to replace one with another is not very helpful?

ff doesn't download models unless you so opt in.
"Undesirable" means without consent (as per the title also). You can disable the flag (not that trivial in the first place to find it etc), but that can only be after you know of it, and after you get to know of the flag, which is probably after it already has downloaded the models. FF asks before if you want to download them or not.
