Don’t want Gemini in Chrome? Here’s how to remove it on Android
Chrome and I need some alone time.
The article discusses Google's Gemini AI assistant being integrated into Chrome for Android users in the United States. While Gemini offers useful features like comparing products, finding deals, scheduling appointments, and making travel bookings, some users may prefer to remove it to keep Chrome more streamlined and under their control.
To do this, users can simply replace the default Ask Gemini shortcut with a preferred option like "New tab". This choice empowers users to decide when and how they engage with Gemini, prioritizing their own control over their browsing experience. Despite Google's security measures, such as detecting prompt injection threats and seeking confirmation for sensitive actions, the article emphasizes that users remain ultimately responsible for Gemini's actions and decisions.
The author expresses reservations about an AI assistant handling browser tasks, preferring to click buttons themselves rather than entrusting control to Gemini. The feature is currently limited to U.S. users with a Google AI Pro or AI Ultra subscription, but may expand to other regions as Gemini in Chrome becomes more widely available.
