Unwanted "Help me write" Google integration, perhaps related to Google Gemini

[AlchemicRaker]

Steps to reproduce

1. Woke up desktop (Windows 11) from sleep
2. Clicked on Element desktop app from the taskbar (it was already running in the background)
3. In the chat room view (which was already open and focused), clicked on the text box "Send a message..."
4. Immediately upon clicking the text entry box, I got this popup (see screenshot below).
5. I clicked on the 3 dots on the right of the popup, which displayed the "Disable" and "Go to Settings" options, also in screenshot

Unfortunately I did not click "Go to Settings", so I cannot tell where the settings exist for this new "feature". It seems related to Gemini and/or Chrome (through Electron, perhaps?)

Outcome

What did you expect?

I expected the text box to be secure, and not be proposing to send all my typing to Google.

What happened instead?

I was shown this popup.

How did you install the app?

Do you mean you installed it as a PWA?

[AlchemicRaker]

Looking into it further, my Shortcut to launch Element targets "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome_proxy.exe", so I believe you are correct, I actually have the PWA.

The PWA you installed is not Element Desktop and thus is unrelated to this repo. Nor is Electron.

https://9to5google.com/2024/05/22/chrome-help-me-write-suggestion/ for how to disable the prompt you don't like, this isn't something that a Web Application can do something about. But actually installing Element Desktop as per the instructions on the website would also be another way around this prompt.

Keep in mind PWA support is marked experimental at best: https://github.com/element-hq/element-web#supported-environments
