Why This Matters

The removal of the claim that Chrome's on-device AI models do not send data to Google servers highlights increased transparency and potential privacy concerns for users. This change underscores the importance of understanding how browser updates can impact data security and user privacy in the tech industry.

Key Takeaways

Chrome no longer claims on-device AI models keep data local.
Users should reassess privacy expectations after the update.
The update signals possible data transmission to Google servers during AI processing.

I doubt anyone uses this "feature" but still.

Before Update

Chrome v147.0.7727.138 says \"Chrome can use Al models that run directly on your device without sending your data to Google servers.\"

Now after update, they removed that claim so the data will most likely be sent to google.

After Update

Chrome v148.0.7778.97 removes that claim.
