I'm excited to release Just the Browser! It helps you remove AI features, sponsored content, shopping integrations, and other annoyances from desktop web browsers.
This project includes configuration files (group policies), a simple setup script, and guides for manual installation. It supports Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Everything is open-source on GitHub.
@corbin That’s a really cool resource!
Curious about Safari’s absence. Is it because there’s not much you’d change, or is it because it’s not easy the changes are hard to make? -

@corbin cool project! FYI your 'create an issue' link points to the wrong repo

Great easy way to get rid of AI in my firefox instances, thank you!
1 criticsim about the homepage:
It is not transparent, that the browser download links redirect to google/mozilla/microsoft servers with their original versions. Some naive users may think, it would be sufficient to (re-)download one of the browsers without copying the script.
So I don't share that link to non IT-affine people.@onabi I can probably add a sentence reminding people to run the script after downloading, yeah

@corbin Question: Have you removed anything that something like librewolf didn't already?
@lxsameer I don't think so, but I haven't used LibreWolf recently so not 100% sure

@lasse Thanks, fixed that!

There's also less of a need for forced settings because AFAIK it doesn't quietly revert your settings later, like Edge does.

@corbin Makes sense. Thank you for making this!

@corbin Is there a way to confirm that it’s been installed correctly and is working?

@BramMeehan Yep, you can go to about:policies in Firefox or chrome://policy/ in Edge/Chrome to see all the active group policies

@orfeo @shumann78 Controlla anche le app non ufficiali. A me piace Tusky (Android). Esistono anche interfacce web diverse. Phanpy è molta gettonata.

A new chapter of The Dead Life has landed, this one titled "The Siren." Just who or what is "the siren" and how will the supply run with new survivors be affected? We'll see...

GPIO madness.
Dear Lazyweb, riddle me this:
1. Boot Pi with HDMI monitor attached: works fine.
2. Boot without monitor: all GPIO inputs "flap" about once a second.
3. Plug in monitor: 10 seconds later, inputs start behaving normally.
4. Unplug monitor: remains good. Until reboot.WTF?
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5, Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) 12.11. Two different Pis, same behavior.

@eff@mastodon.social I have an iPhone I use a a standalone device to manage my insulin pump as a type 1 diabetic. I have very few other apps installed on that device and lockdown mode is enabled because I want to minimize the risk that a device with a drug could kill me being hacked into. No security is perfect but it provides some additional security protections that might help! I wish something similar was available for my Google Pixel device.
