And this is AFTER I went in and disabled smart features and remove it as an app.

      Google Workspace (what the company I work for uses for collaboration).

      1. I don’t want Gemini/AI. At all.
      2. If you disable it, it still pops up constantly.

        If your Google workspace is managed by an administrator, you may not have the rights to disable it. Even if you disable it in your account, if the group policy has it turned on it’ll still operate.

        If you’re allowed to use Firefox and ublock origin, you can block it at the page level. Scripts can’t run if they don’t load.

          It is managed, but I can disable smart features and remove it as an app. But it still pops up constantly (basically like an ad). If you try to do anything from the pop-up, it tells you it needs to be enabled to work. So, it knows it’s disabled but still shoves itself in my face as if I accidentally clicked into 4 different deep settings pages to disable it lol.

          I can and do use FF, but I use Chrome for Workspace because … stupid company policy reasons. It works in FF, but the way they have SSO configured, you get logged out every 45 minutes.

      Bloatware and the consequences are he could lose his job. A lot of companies that got scammed now have to use AI or realize they invested in nothing and a company forced to realize they lost revenue in this day and age because of shitty investments?

      Edit: Thats why theyre forcing it on employees. If you cant use their investment then they actually did lose a shit ton of money and did get scammed.
