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 sure hope this won't make it into chromium
@valerauko I don’t think Chromium will have this. There are too many non-Google people involved and Chrome is seen more as “Value Added” anyway
If Chromium gets something similar, I’d expect a fork shortly after
