Google can replace a web page with another view built with AI.

WebMCP is the new AMP

So every apps in F-Droid or IzzyOnDroid is flagged as dangerous. Every ones of them.

It's hard not to assume bad intention here.

Why summarizing all emails if you can have them sorted efficiently? What's the advantage if you can already control which email you want to receive and which not?

Google argues that email has changed since 2004, as users are now bombarded with hundreds of emails every week, and volume keeps rising.

Who wants to be bombarded?

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.

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.

It is indeed https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/developers-practitioners/announcing-docscloudgooglecom-the-new-home-for-google-cloud-documentation?hl=en

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 lost my 30-minutes long notes...

The argumentation is well-thought and the reasoning solid against 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.
