I use Chrome for convenience since it has consistently better sync than Firefox in my experience but the Android app just made Gemini a permanent fixture and I'm going to have an aneurysm. It's taking up so much space as a permanent bar. These people are genuinely evil

I think it's time to switch. This is the last straw. Time to figure out how to make Firefox work for me

This is clearly not a permanent solution. Obviously Google is going to try their best to show me the Gemini button and will remove this flag at some point. Changing browsers is most likely the only long term solution

This is harassment! Numerous, onerous attempts at forcing me to interact with this shit! Just 2 years ago I'd finally had peace with having blocked ads on all my devices, forgetting that Google is an ad company. These people don't understand consent and they don't want to clearly. Bastards
