Google stuffs Chrome full of AI features whether you like it or not

I switched from Chrome to Brave six months ago.

Why can’t Alphabet just leave Chrome alone? They already have so many cash cows. Stuffing Chrome with AI gimmicks makes it clunky and unusable — and when that happens, people will just migrate to other browsers. Alphabet should revisit its own history and remember the great migration from Internet Explorer to Chrome.

AI features must be there, considering how much money has been spent into developing these features. However putting these features inside will drive people away from Chrome, while not putting these features inside will make shareholders angry because line is not going up.

Alphabet is in lose-lose situation.

They could just release these features as a core plugin, which is seamlessly installed on enabling it in settings.
