Google’s actions have also led to protests against the company, with demonstrators chanting the catchy slogan, “Hey Google, nice try. We don’t want your Gemini…”

Chalkbeat Chicago reports that it led to protests in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and in Chicago, where the city’s school district recently blocked student access to generative AI tools such as Gemini.

The spokesperson added that if CPS cannot provide students access to Google’s search engine without its AI feature, the district will “look to other search solutions.”

Personally, I never had major issues with Google, to be frank, and their DevTools of Chromium is the best general web-dev tools still, I know for desktop.
Since the “AI Overviews”, I’ve been having extensions and udm14 to not even see those, preferring actual web pages with people and normally authentic effort to bookmark, and learn from.
For Android? Firefox, sure, since it supports extensions, and is actually open-source if compared to the Google’s official Chromium based.

Yet, while I do not reside in USA, the article’s main message is much heartfelt appreciated…
