How to disable Google Gemini AI Slop in the Chrome browser
Google is pushing their horrific Gemini AI slop into every corner of
the Chrome browser, in hopes of luring you into feeding Gemini the
private information on your web pages and further get their claws into
your personal life.
For now (how long, I know not!) you can probably disable most of this.
As always when altering internal Chrome flags, you do so at your
own risk.
Procedure:
Enter URL: chrome://flags
In the search box, enter: glic
(Glic is "Gemini Live in Chrome")
There is a long, long list of Glic flags. I chose to disable them all
(One is already disabled regarding bypassing Gemini agent safety
checks, don't change it!).
Then relaunch the browser.
This appears to disable for now most of the Gemini AI crap being
pushed on web pages, mouse context menus, and more.
Use at your own discretion. -L
