    Will Chrome send all your PDF/images/browser history to Google cloud to provide that service?

    Or will the processing be completely local to preserve privacy?

      This is just ensuring that companies are forced to blacklist Chrome if they want their secrets to stay secret. It’s already happened at my partners workplace (power industry, federal regulations on security) - hilariously, all google cloud services are blocked, but Bing is fine (w/ automatic ChatGPT integration).

      It will be very interesting to see how companies handle this type of practice in the long run.

        And I’m so happy to see Firefox doing the exact opposite, with the recent inclusion of an offline translator. Though not as good as Google’s yet, it’s already usable and will only get better.
