I'm so tired of this. Can we just make all of this opt-in add-ons to the browser instead of just bolting this crap in and forcing it upon us out of the box?
Whatever even happened to add-ins and plugins when we just go to this level of bullshit integration?
If it's not pushed down users' collective throats, the owning class that has invested so much on this fad would not get to rake in as much money and that would make their investment actually risky, can't have that. I hate to sound cynical about this, but that's what it looks like. If they had these things be opt-in add-ons, no one (or at least a sufficient amount of people) would not use these, because people are sick of LLMs being pushed everywhere.
right click -> "explain this for me" has been a life-changer. nothing infuriated me more than having to ask someone to elaborate only to get some high-and-mighty "you wouldn't get it" type response.
now the AI calmly and professionally goes into all technical details, allowing me to independently realize that yes, indeed; I wouldn't get it, and my mammalian ego is at peace.
The beatings will continue until the stock price goes down.

Strange headline when Gemini is good
If they were very confident that it was that good for this, why not make this opt-in as an addon? If it's that great, people will willingly sign up.
It is opt-in... you don't have to use it.
