Google has shipped the Prompt API in Chrome, which bundles Gemini Nano — a 4GB AI model — into Chrome without user consent, re-downloading it if removed. Mozilla has formally opposed the API, citing concerns that its usage requires developers to acknowledge Google's Generative AI Prohibited Uses Policy, which sets a troubling precedent for UA-specific rules on the web platform. Critics argue Google is leveraging its dominant browser position to push proprietary AI capabilities through the web standards process, bypassing genuine developer consensus.
