I'm on Chrome 147 too and disabled:
"optimization-guide-on-device-model"
- Enables optimization guide on device
"prompt-api-for-gemini-nano"
- Prompt API for Gemini Nano
- Prompt API for Gemini Nano with Multimodal Input
and deleted weights.bin and the 2025.x folder in "OptGuideOnDeviceModel"
Will report if Chrome 148 downloads the model again.
- phs318u 5mo agoIf you touch those files into existence and chown to root and chmod to 0, it shouldn’t be able to ever overwrite them right?
- RaiausderDose 5mo agoyeah, should work. Will try readonly on windows too. Now I can't see it anymore, but shouldn't the model be under chrome://on-device-internals/ -> model-status? Maybe you can uninstall there too.
- pmontra 5mo agoI'm on my phone now so I can't check if something has changed, but what you want to protect from change is the directory, not the files. A file can be deleted and created again if the process can write the directory.
- sethops1 5mo agoYou want to use chattr +i (make the empty file immutable)
- Markoff 5mo agothanks, went to flags in Vivaldi and just in case disabled all flags containing "gemini" and first five results for "model"
- beaugunderson 5mo agomaybe I was on the wrong side of the early release but I’ve deleted this model many times in the last year. I’ve had it for at least 12 months.
- RaiausderDose 5mo agoit downloaded the model again...
