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 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.

@corbin nice work 👍

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

@corbin Will try later. Crazy that we have to start doing this...

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. -
@corbin does it work with Vanadium on Graphene OS?

@corbin Question: Have you removed anything that something like librewolf didn't already?

@tadbithuman No Android support yet: https://github.com/corbindavenport/just-the-browser/issues/4
@corbin Thank you!

@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

@lxsameer I don't think so, but I haven't used LibreWolf recently so not 100% sure

@lasse Thanks, fixed that!

Is it because there’s not much you’d change, or is it because it’s not easy the changes are hard to make?@Cykelero I haven't checked if Safari has any useful options hidden behind management policies. There's also less of a need for forced settings because AFAIK it doesn't quietly revert your settings later, like Edge does.

@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

@fucinafibonacci @attualita se vogliono arrivare ad avere un esercito di 3 milioni di persone entro il 2030, qualche bambino in fabbrica e qualche donna in miniera ci sta. Si vede che hanno scelto la via della pace e della diplomazia.

Well this sucks. We had the social media account for our podcast on horrorhub.club which appears to have shut down. I don't think we have a way to transfer any information and I guess we need to find an instance.

In the countryside, there are rituals that have endured for hundreds of years, unchanged.
This elderly woman, her body bent by time and hard work, walks each day to meet her chickens - who roam freely across a vast open space.
She gathers a few branches and leaves, then returns to fetch the food she’ll give them, to complement what they’ve already foraged in nature.The chickens, friendly and orderly, follow her all the while.
And watching them, I’m reminded of people who are no longer here - people who were part of my life for a long time, who lived those same rituals, even if hundreds of kilometers away.Even as everything around us changes, there are places that never do.
