Has Google Secretly Changed Your Chrome Settings?

Google changed a Chrome on-device AI setting label and moved its toggle out of the System section.

The new wording no longer explicitly says data stays off Google servers, sparking privacy concerns.

A privacy advocate flagged the change; Google says it was made in early April and the underlying Gemini Nano behavior is unchanged.

Google maintains Gemini Nano still processes data locally on device, despite the updated wording.
