Just did a quick look…
Need to use Chrome for work (No, UserAgentString changes don’t work for whatever fingerprinting nonsense they use). Trying to preempt this issue. Apparently when it downloads, it downloads into a folder called
~/.config/google-chrome/Default/OptGuideOnDeviceModel/
OptGuideOnDeviceModel directory doesn’t exist yet.
I created it, made root the owner, and removed all its write permissions. Ought to do it.

Also block chromium? That’s real crappy.
I mean… it’s enterprise software. That’s the MO for most of it.
Solution: stop using chrome.
Why would you ever use chrome? It has always sucked.
Not always, but it really came quickly. I never saw the point in switching from Firefox though. Even if pages actually did load 15% slower, or whatever, it made absolutely no practical difference.
Anybody know if this only gets installed on windows 11 computers? At work we got low resources on windows 10 and legacy computers so idk if they install the AI weights on those
And then what?

Some people should be around soon to tell you how terrible Brave is.
I thought this would convince my brother to degoogle. Guess what he said?

The best part about chrome is that you don’t have to have it

Unless…
You have to use a website that is absolutely necessary for your job or government paperwork, that only works on chromium browsers (and ungoogled chromium doesn’t help)

Yeah that

None of the browser based COM port uploader tools work on Firefox yet. Like the WLED installer or the ESP32 flash tools.

I have no idea what any of that means
