Google has quietly removed language from Chrome's 'Privacy Sandbox' settings that previously claimed on-device AI features don't send data to Google servers. This change raises privacy concerns about how user data is handled by Chrome's AI features, though Google maintains that user controls and privacy protections remain in place.
Background
Google Chrome's Privacy Sandbox initiative aims to develop privacy-preserving alternatives to third-party cookies, but has faced scrutiny over its data collection practices and user tracking concerns.
