Google will feed its AI with email.
As sender to an email address, I can not control it however.
In the latest November 22 update, Google clarify than "smart" does not mean "AI".
It seems however that Gemini is included as smart feature in the screenshots.
With Rust changes having a 4x lower rollback rate and spending 25% less time in code review, the safer path is now also the faster one
Google uses AI to report security vulnerability.
They order a fix and they plan to release the vulnerability after 90 days.
FFmpeg is an open source project though. The project owes nothing to Google, and Google has no right to impose anything on the project. The company can largely finance or submit fixes.
So RSS won't be supported anymore and other formats too.
Only the web HTML + CSS + JS will remain and Chrome is pushing implementations at a faster pace that the other browsers can not . There is effectively an attempt to capture the web by Google.
I remember the library for XLST used in browsers is not maintained by the big corporations. Ah it's LibXML.
The depreciation notice: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/CxL4gYZeSJA/m/yNs4EsD5AQAJ
Ah yes, a maintainability thing "Chromium uses the libxslt library to process these transformations, and libxslt was unmaintained for ~6 months of 2025".
Usage of the JS XSLTProcessor API is fairly volatile, registering somewhere between 0.01% and 0.1% of page loads, averaging around 0.05% over time. These numbers are above the typical 0.001% deprecation threshold. Again, we feel that the increased potential for breakage is balanced by the reduced security risk to 100% of Chromium users.
It's for security reason? XSLT users hacked are 0. Where are the security vulnerability?
This seems to be a new version.
Only 8% clicked on traditional search result links when an AI summary was present, versus 15% without one. Additionally, only 1% clicked directly on the links within the AI summaries.
Browser session ending after viewing a search page occurs in 26%, compared to 16% for pages with traditional results
The AI summaries tend to feature a higher proportion of links to Wikipedia and government sites.
Or, comme le pointe notamment Ars Technica, l’arrivée de l’IA change justement la donne. Google a dit et répété que ses résumés IA dans les résultats de recherche ne risquaient pas de faire diminuer le trafic des sites dont les informations étaient extraites.
En juillet cependant, une étude publiée par le Pew Research Center semblait pointer au contraire vers une baisse importante. Google s’était défendue, assure que le nombre de clics était « relativement stable ». L’entreprise n’a jamais publié de chiffres pour appuyer ses affirmations.
Comme largement noté par la presse outre-Atlantique, le distinguo entre web ouvert et publicités sur le web ouvert est au mieux ténu. Beaucoup évoquent un lien de proportionnalité : si le web ouvert était dans un état sain, la publicité suivrait. Or, les documents de Google montrent que ce sont les publicités intégrées aux applications qui connaissent le développement le plus significatif. Y compris les propres applications de Google.
A book written in Google Doc gets deleted because the document is not accessible anymore.
It's another complaint that every hosting service can make the content unavailable.
Google résume les sites webs au lieu de rediriger les utilisateurs.
Les utilisateurs ne naviguent donc plus sur ces sites webs produisant les informations.
Les sites web accusent une baisse de traffic.
Ces sites web meurent.
S'il n'y a plus ces sites, Google ne peux plus résumer leur contenu.
Sauf ceux qui sont indépendant du traffic, ou bien un petit traffic suffit.
Le New York Times a perdu 36% de son traffic. Google AI Overview a fait chuter de 30% la navigation des utilisateurs.
Ces sites réagissent et ils sont 67% à bloquer les crawlers d'IA.
L’Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) remplace progressivement le SEO traditionnel et les éditeurs structurent leur contenu pour être référencés dans les boîtes IA, en espérant récupérer quelques miettes de trafic via les liens affichés dans les résumés.

PewDiePie provides alternative to Google.
One of the figure who coined the term Enshittification. He writes a lot
Sounds like a mafia:
- you will exist in Google search results but the content is given to Google's AI
- or you won't
We're about to reach the ultimate stage: after massively rotting the web with centralized silos in which they locked up their users before monetizing them, Silicon Valley's billionaires finally don't really want you to go and read the web they've ingested, and prefer you to talk to their AIs. That way, you'll never leave their website.
I think Google knows very well that traditional search is dead, because of SEO and AI. There's no way to give "good" results anymore, because you can't tell if a site is legitimate or just an AI creation.
Since everything that's produced is no longer discernible from AIs, they might as well serve the content themselves: at least they control the AI. Paradigm shift:
"Users only use the first page of Google results"
to "Users only use Google."
Firefox needs the revenue of Google
The Office of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton originally filed the first lawsuit against Google in January 2022, complaining that the tech giant collected users’ geolocation data. It alleged that Google has continued to track users’ locations even after they thought they had disabled the feature, and then used the data to serve them advertisements.
