@mav I use #VivaldiBrowser. It's from a nice team of people. But I still get some comments about it being chromium based. So here is the wishlist: made in Europe, with no tech from GAFAM and stripped from AI. Any suggestions?

@GeofCox@climatejustice.social @ScottMGS@justme.masto.host @pluralistic@mamot.fr I wish this is so. Nobody should want the horrors of fascism back in business!

@Mer__edith I think the Windows Insider team watched your presentation: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-may-soon-allow-it-admins-to-uninstall-copilot-on-managed-devices/

@disisdeguey @mav I've been thinking of trying it out. It's not Google, doesn't have AI, but it's not European... I always get 2 out of three on the wishlist 🙂

How to Remove or Disable It:
- Turn off settings: Go to Chrome Settings > System and turn off On-device AI.
- Disable flags: Type chrome://flags in your address bar, search for Optimization Guide, and set it to Disabled.
- Delete the folder: Close Chrome completely, navigate to C:\Users[YourUsername]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data, and delete the OptGuideOnDeviceModel folder.

If you want to reclaim your storage space and prevent Chrome from using the model, you can delete the folder after turning off the settings, though Chrome may recreate it during future updates if not fully disabled.

Great... News about age verification and privacy on a site that will not display on #VivaldiBrowser mobile, most likely due to the native no tracking features. The same link works splendid on #Chrome. F_ck that #Slashdot , I 'll keep on the free side of the web!

@mcbaumwolle@mastodon.social Deactivated the AI features and deleted the folder. I'll keep you posted if/when it resurfaces.
