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 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!

@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?@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 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.

@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.

Ogni software ha le sue peculiarità. Tra i principali suggerirei:
- Mastodon per la semplicità
- GoToSocial per la leggerezza
- Sharkey / Misskey per le funzionalità@emmecola@sayansi.social @emmecola@fediscience.org @emmecola@varese.social

Resecurity has spotted a new backdoor named PDFSIDER.
The company believes the malware has been created by an APT group, but no other details are provided except that the malware was deployed in a failed attack at a Fortune 100 company.

@dcoderlt Until it has been removed.
