Is this a US thing? I tried to go to the /extensions subpage but I get routed to the main page every time.

I’m covered by gdpr but it was active. Links maybe fixed?

It's likely changed by now or they canceled the roll out. All this happened several months ago. Including push back of pissed people and that a lot of ai stuff hasn't worked all that reliably.

The picture shows Jan 20th, so it may have all been changed since this was posted

Are you logged in to your Google account? It works for me when I’m logged in, but otherwise redirects.

You should have been rerouted to a /apps subpage asking what apps you wanted to use Gemini in.

It shows extensions for me but it's all off. I did not change anything.

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to https://gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to https://myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

Edit: links now work again

UK I think, although after checking from a pc, google flights, hotels, and maps were enabled instead of greyed out like on mobile

And the links no longer work.

Your second link will work if you remove the space before "gemini". I just used it and it worked fine.

Thanks for that! I had most disabled, but missed one switch, or they just added it and made it on by default. Pesky bitches.

Extensions link just send me straight to the regular Gemini page no matter what. No way to find extensions from there

There is exactly zero chance this shit will fly in the EU.

A glue? To sniff it, like you obviously did?

I already had everything turned off anyway...Turns out past me made sure that Gemini couldn't invade my life!

Same! Already got fed up with google awhile back and turned everything off. Next goal is to completely de-google.

I want to, but there are critical accounts that won't let me change the associated email (or an account that would require my former employer to change, ROFL). I'm happy you can de-Google.

8

Yes, but that also often require migrating to other services, and I'm already getting weird looks for having an e-mail that doesn't end in gmail, and often people are asking me for a "gmail account" too.

Also good luck without YouTube (all respects to those who can do without).

So what you're saying is, clear out all of your documents and replace it with the most garbage fanfic gibberish you can find.

I agree with deleting forced installations. If I was presented with the option and chose yes, is there something detrimental about installing or using Gemini? I haven't used AI consciously yet but that is all I read about lately.

5

What does that even mean? Did they integrate Gemini to all their core products?

That said, I use Gemini occasionally, and it seems useful to me, although I still take the information it generates with caution, and I prefer to read documentation for whatever I want to do, because I don't want to blindly follow what LLM's generate (that's just asking for problems).
