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 Thank you for doing this.
I'm sorry you had to... But thanks.

@corbin love the idea, will have a look to see anything I should add to my own Firefox config!

@corbin I sent this to a colleague and they came back to me saying:
it's just group policy, we could push this to the whole company!
@kajer That is what they were made for! Leaving telemetry/logging enabled is usually a good idea for real enterprise environments though
-
@corbin My policies file is a bit more opinionated than yours, but is another option: https://www.quippd.com/writing/2025/05/18/enterprise-policies-for-firefox-customization-a-beginners-guide.html
I love that you figured out how to remove Perplexity -- I hadn't even tried. Thanks for showing us the way!
@yoasif Glad it helped! And yeah, my original Edge config that spawned this idea was much longer and more tailored to what I use specifically.
Browsers have also removed a few features lately that would have otherwise gone in these lists, like Pocket in FF, Privacy Sandbox in Chrome, the sidebar minigames in Edge, etc.

@corbin I tried this on Edge on macOS and for the first time using Edge was actually a pleasant experience. Amazing. Thank you.

Now, for even better privacy and security, we should have a Linux edition.

@thomas Android support and more Linux browsers would be cool, I've made issues for them: https://github.com/corbindavenport/just-the-browser/issues

@corbin Great project. Thanks. A great improvement might be to have the implementation in a Ubuntu/Debian package and to activate the Configuration by installing this package.

@Adam_Howard @corbin It's already there. I just ran it on Mint 22.2. It's just a shell script.

@corbin I got a chance to look at this and wow, it's really just that simple? I'm going to throw a copy of the Firefox .json file, text instructions, and link for updates in my "list of things to do after a reinstall to make the OS and apps behave" workflow

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.
