Google Chrome has been silently installing a 4GB Al model called Gemini Nano on users' devices without consent, a researcher found.
Summary Researcher Alexander Hanff documented Chrome secretly downloading a 4GB Al model called Gemini Nano to eligible devices without user notification or consent.
The model reinstalls itself automatically if users delete it, and Chrome does not offer an opt-out prompt during installation. Hanff argues the practice likely violates the EU's ePrivacy Directive and GDPR, raising legal questions that have not yet been tested in court. Google Chrome is silently installing a 4GB Al model on users' devices without consent, a researcher found. Privacy researcher and computer scientist Alexander Hanff documented the installation after discovering that a Chrome profile he created for automated privacy audits had accumulated 4GB of model files called weights.bin inside a folder named OptGuideOnDeviceModel, despite receiving zero human input at any point. The model is Google's Gemini Nano, a lightweight on-device large language model. Hanff's evidence chain shows Chrome downloading the 4GB file in 14 minutes and 28 seconds on April 24, 2026, without a consent prompt, without a settings notification, and without a checkbox. The file reinstalls automatically when restarted after deletion, according to multiple independent reports across Windows, macOS, and Linux. What Chrome does with the model Chrome 147 displays an
"Al Mode" pill in the address bar, which users might reasonably assume routes queries to the local on-device model. According to Hanff's investigation, that assumption is wrong. The Al Mode pill is a cloud-backed Search Generative Experience that sends every query to Google's servers. The on-device Gemini Nano powers right-click menu features that most users never access.
Snopes verified the claim as mostly true, finding the weights.bin

Fundstrat’s Tom Lee Says Ethereum Is “Cheap” At Current Levels, Predicts $22K Target By 2028


Ethereum (ETH) continued to trade sideways on Friday following a volatile week marked by a broader crypto market downturn.

Notably, the cryptocurrency posted a modest gain of roughly 1% over the past seven days, even as selling pressure weighed on many digital assets.

Meanwhile, Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat Global Advisors, continues to argue that Ethereum remains undervalued at current levels and that ETH’s value may not improve significantly in the future, but he strongly believes it could reach $22,000 by 2028.

His perspective is tied not only to Ethereum’s expanding role in decentralized finance and tokenized markets but also to broader crypto-cycle dynamics. In a recent commentary, Lee highlighted Bitcoin’s price behavior as a crucial macro signal for the entire digital asset market. 

“If Bitcoin were to close above $76,000 for the month, it would strongly suggest that the bear market phase is over,” he noted.

According to him, consistent monthly increases in Bitcoin have historically marked the bearish-to-bullish transition regimes. He emphasized that while short-term rebounds can occur within bear markets, as seen in previous cycles like 2022, true trend reversals are typically confirmed only after multiple consecutive monthly closes in the green.

Additionally, according to popular analyst Ali Martinez, Ethereum has recently reached a crucial on-chain threshold known as the Realized Price, currently positioned around $2,380. This level represents the average price at which every ETH token last moved on the blockchain, effectively reflecting the collective cost basis of market participants.

The pundit explained that this zone is significant because it often acts as a psychological and structural boundary in market cycles.

Solana (SOL) Today
News
Solana is currently trading in a volatile consolidation range, with the market watching closely for a breakout above key resistance zones. Recent price action shows SOL recovering after short-term weakness, supported by growing ecosystem activity and strong trader interest.
One of the biggest developments is the continued expansion of Solana's DeFi and meme coin ecosystem, which has helped maintain high network activity and trading volume. Analysts also say Solana remains one of the fastest major blockchain networks, making it attractive for developers and institutional projects.
Another important focus is Solana's upcoming performance upgrades aimed at improving scalability and transaction processing speed. These improvements are increasing long-term confidence in the network.
However, short-term volatility remains high because SOL is still highly influenced by Bitcoin's overall market direction and broader crypto liquidity conditions.
Price Prediction (SOL)
Short-term range: $85 - $100
Bullish breakout target: $115 - $140
Strong bullish scenario: $160+ if ecosystem growth accelerates
Bearish downside zone: $70 - $78
Analysts believe Solana could remain one of the strongest-performing altcoins if adoption and trading activity continue growing through 2026.

US Spot Bitcoin ETFs have officially recorded their 6th consecutive week of net inflows, marking the longest positive streak since August 2025. Over the past six weeks, these ETFs attracted more than $3.4 billion in fresh capital, showing that institutional interest in Bitcoin remains strong despite ongoing market uncertainty.

The strongest week during this rally brought in nearly $1 billion in inflows, while the latest week alone added over $622 million. This sustained momentum highlights growing confidence among investors who continue accumulating Bitcoin through regulated financial products.

However, the week ended with noticeable outflows on Thursday and Friday, suggesting that traders became cautious ahead of important US economic data, especially the Non-Farm Payrolls report. Analysts believe uncertainty around the labor market, interest rates, and geopolitical tensions near the Strait of Hormuz contributed to the sudden slowdown.

At the same time, Bitcoin briefly dropped below the $80,000 level, increasing volatility across the crypto market. Liquidation heatmaps indicate that the $78,000 zone remains a critical support area, while strong short positions between $82,000 and $83,000 continue creating pressure on price action.

Meanwhile, Spot Ether ETFs also returned to positive territory, recording more than $70 million in weekly inflows after previously seeing outflows. This recovery suggests that investor appetite for digital assets remains active even during periods of market stress.

The current ETF inflow trend is being closely watched because many analysts consider institutional money flow one of the most important indicators for Bitcoin’s long-term direction. If inflows continue in the coming weeks, market sentiment could strengthen further across the entire crypto sector.

Banking trade groups criticize Clarity Act for stablecoin loopholesThe American Bankers Association, the Bank Policy Institute, and allied trade groups are sounding the alarm over a provision buried in the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act that they say creates a backdoor for crypto platforms to offer yield on stablecoins. The concern is straightforward: if stablecoin issuers can effectively pay interest under a different name, traditional bank deposits become a lot less attractive.

Section 404 of the CLARITY Act is the specific flashpoint. It permits stablecoin issuers to offer rewards based on a holder’s balance and the duration they hold, which, to the banking industry, looks an awful lot like paying interest without calling it interest.

Crypto conferences filled venues and dominated social feeds in 2025, but fresh traffic data suggests the hype barely translated into meaningful audience growth for crypto media outlets. Crypto conference season was noisy last year. The booths were full, the panels were stacked with premier speakers, and the side events and parties ran late. Social feeds made it look like the entire digital asset market took over conference halls and parts of major cities. So we asked the obvious question: did any of that noise actually make it into the traffic charts? To check, our latest Outset Data Pulse analysis tracked monthly visits across 274 crypto and Web3 media outlets in Asia and the United States from January 2025 through March
2026. How the conference effect was measured This report was not a basic surface-level comparison of total traffic during event months. Rather, every website was measured against its own normal pattern, not the rest of the market, because it doesn't make sense for a small regional outlet to compare against a large global publisher. At the same time, a 10% move at one outlet may be normal, but a 10% move at another would be highly unusual. That's why we used the z-score approach: each outlet's traffic was converted into a z-score, which shows how meaningfully different a given month was for that specific outlet. A score near zero means the month was normal, while a higher score means the month stood out from the outlet's own baseline. The charts comparing conference months with non-conference months make
the contradiction easier to understand.
Conference season looks intense from inside the industry, but on the traffic chart, the bars barely separate. The U.S. saw almost nothing while Asia looked better,
