PSA for whatever threat model you may have (IE domestic abuse): Google Chrome now has an opt-in Microsoft Recall-like AI feature where every page you visit is scraped locally (and also submitted to Google's servers) for you to be able to search through later. Easily toggled via browser settings, no clue what on-disc storage looks like.

Is this a feature I can see being useful? yes, assuming it's not spitting everything back at you via a LLM.
Is this a feature I can see being abused? also yes, in the same way we're all uncomfortable with Recall.
Is this a feature I feel comfortable using myself? no! I don't want the pages I visit being fed back to a google server! I also sometimes view pages I don't want to be scraped and stored locally for security reasons! (IE banking)
