Let's spend years plugging holes in V8, splitting browser components to separate processes and improving sandboxing and then just plug in LLM with debugging enabled into Chrome. Great idea. Last time we had such a great idea it was lead in gasoline.

It's clear the endgame is to cook AI into Chrome itself. Get ready for some big antitrust lawsuit that settles in 20 years when Gemini is bundled too conveniently and all the other players complain.

We'll soon get Manifest V4 that, for "security reasons", somehow includes clauses banning any AI other than Gemini from using the browser.
