It was republished on September 28 with New Gemini Privacy Warning as another completion of completion – this time with Google Photos.
A new warning has just been issued for 2 billion Chrome users, as Google’s browser begins to collect “sensitive data” on smartphones. This includes “your name, location, device ID, tour and search history, product interactions and market history.”
This follows Google’s communication That “starting today, we go out twins to Chrome”, which says it is “the biggest upgrade to Chrome in its history”.
The warning comes from Surfingwhich “immediately investigated the confidential angle of AI browser users” after Google’s announcement. “If you use Chrome with Gemini on your phone, they collect 24 different types of data that are directly connected to you.”
This is more than any of the other “analyzed browsers with complete AIS AIS,” says Surfshark. Even the tip of Microsoft “is less hungry”. Combined with Copilot, it only collects half the data with Chrome and Gemini.
The embarrassment, the opera and the brave collect less data. “With the integration of twins-in time,” says Surfshark, “users need to know the amount of data collected.”
And it doesn’t stop there. “Many browsers, such as Chrome, Edge and Firefox, allow users to add AI AG AI extensions like Chatgpt.
We have seen multiple reports in recent months in the data harvest attributed to the expansions of the browser, even those downloaded from the official stores.
“Gemini at Chrome works with you, on your terms,” says Google. “It only helps when you ask, put you in control.” But if you ask, your information is collected.
This new data harvest warning – including location tracking – comes at the same time with a separate report warns that the other significant upgrade of Google’s twins this month – Nano Banana – is also greedy when it comes to diet of users’ data.
Now Android principle He says “Google can work to bring Nano Banana, the popular Gemini image editing tool to Google Photos.
Data hungry browser AI programs

Warnings that Nano Banana collects a worrying amount of user data and its possible integration into the Google platforms used by billions, raises the same concerns as Chrome and Gemini and similar data harvest reports.
Point Wild warns that “every photo you upload transfers what cyberspace experts call biometric fingerprint: unique facial geometry, skin texture, micro-expressions, body proportions, and even behavioral patterns.” These data include “GPS coordinates, fingerprints of devices, behavior biometry and even social networks mapping.
Separately, Apple has now made its technology against exploitation with her finger default for all safari tours on iOS 26, but you need to use her own browser to do this project. If you use Chrome on an iPhone, there is no defense. That is why Apple also warns iPhone users to stop using Chrome and use Safari.
“Gemini in Chrome only activates when you choose to use it,” Google says, “by clicking the Gemini icon or the keyboard shortcut you create. Something we need to keep in mind, given this new report.
As Gemini comes in more google applications and platforms, your control over privacy and data collection must simplify – it’s a mess, with different policies for different implementations. Google warns users not to share sensitive information with twins
You can go to “Gemini Apps Activity” and stop Google Storage data for more than 72 hours. When you get the twin to Chrome upgrade, you can go to the settings> ai Innovations> Gemini to Chrome. You can also manage sensitive rights to Chrome settings on your phone, set up the site or camera access, for example.
Worry about your expectations, though. Use Twin in chrome It collects your data – there is nothing you can do to exclude yourself. You should be careful as you are browse.
Point Wild warns that “powerful AI tools like Nano Banana come” free “because you are not the customer, you are the product.
It is the same as these other AI upgrades. “Millions have eagerly handed their biometric substance to algorithms and unknown hands. This uncontrolled human privacy experiment does not have a” UNDO “button.” These “free” tools come because you are not the customer, you are the product, “says Point Wild.
