Re:Chrome's New AI Features on Thursday September 18, 2025 @01:38PM (#45292584)
Very interested to see how well the agentic features work compared to ChatGPT’s cloud version. At the very least, I imagine bot detection/prevention (I.e., CAPTCHA) will be less of issue with Google’s strategy since the browser’s fingerprint will differ Chrome user to Chrome user.

Edit: I fell for the headline. This is only to export in markdown, not directly write in markdown. So close, yet so far.

I would guess to prevent IP address blocking, or offloading responsibility

Edit: added “to prevent”

Once I heard of ReplyGuy, I knew it was the beginning of the end for forums like Reddit

My strategy been to put my money where my mouth is and start paying for services that provide value to me (Kagi is one example - I’m a paying customer, and actually found this article using their small web site)
