@JustinMac84 Actually it's 1.5Gb for the browser ... and another 5Gb for a sodding local AI model I didn't ask for *which is non-removable and Chrome re-downloads it if you delete it*. Hence nuking the app completely.

@cstross Also removed Chrome following your info yesterday. Couldn't find it's AI file but as I hadn't used/updated it for a year or so I guess it wasn't installed.
@cstross Imagine the same thing on a Chromebook. They must've taken leave of their senses.
I recently switched from Firefox to Librewolf because Firefox was having issues not preventing popups, and I was getting worried about Mozilla leadership. Painless - export bookmarks, re-import. Just for your back pocket in case FF follows suit with the AI shenanigans. Congratulations on dumping chrome.
Almost 3 G's for an app I think I used once to access my energy company's website. What a waste.
@cstross on my Macs I switched form FF to Orion as a secondary browser because FF kept changing settings after updates. I don't love Orion but I'm a Kagi user so its convenient and uses FF extensions.
