TIL Chrome is scanning your files, including private folders, in the background as an anti-malware measure

There’s currently no “off” switch, but apparently the devs reassure that scans are local and not “cloud” based. But this still has consent and privacy implications
@cypnk
I think as a security measure instead of Chrome install the chromium package on Linux. Never ever install the google "non free gnu" version to your OS:, linux or mac os... #boycottFAANG
@Tlacaelel Oh I do run Chromium on Linux (BunsenLabs) personally, but this isn’t really an option on locked down corporate environments. I don’t see that situation changing any time soon, unfortunately
