谷歌揭示如何禁用 Chrome 中预装的 Gemini Nano
谷歌 chrome 浏览器于 2024 年在桌面端自动下载了 4gb 的 gemini nano 模型。用户现可通过设置 > 系统 > 设备端 ai 将其禁用，但这将导致本地诈骗检测和开发者 api 失效。安全专家指出，该模型在初始推出时未明确征求用户同意即占用空间。
Google installed the 4 GB Gemini Nano model on desktop Chrome browsers starting in 2024 to power on-device scam detection and developer APIs. Following user reports regarding the lack of transparency, Google confirmed it rolled out a toggle in February allowing users to disable and uninstall the model via Settings. While local processing enhances privacy by keeping data off the cloud, disabling the feature removes security protections and alters how third-party sites interact with the browser.
