alt Hacker NewsI'm on Chrome 147 too and disabled:
"optimization-guide-on-device-model"
- Enables optimization guide on device
"prompt-api-for-gemini-nano"
- Prompt API for Gemini Nano
- Prompt API for Gemini Nano with Multimodal Input
and deleted weights.bin and the 2025.x folder in "OptGuideOnDeviceModel"
Will report if Chrome 148 downloads the model again.

maybe I was on the wrong side of the early release but I’ve deleted this model many times in the last year. I’ve had it for at least 12 months.

thanks, went to flags in Vivaldi and just in case disabled all flags containing "gemini" and first five results for "model"
If you touch those files into existence and chown to root and chmod to 0, it shouldn’t be able to ever overwrite them right?
