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 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

@paoloredaelli Per mia esperienza e gusti musicali posso consigliarti qualche band tipo:
. Eluveitie
. Finntroll
. Cruachan
. KorpiklaaniLe influenze celtiche fanno parte del loro background e sono molto presenti sia a livello musicale che nelle tematiche narrate nei loro testi.

stasera non perdete #ReportRAI3 come tutte le domeniche.
Grazie #Report e #FattoQuotidiano per le rivelazioni su #GarantePrivacyE su #Vannacci, ricordiamo che è stato a capo dell'unità segreta #TaskForce45 in #Afghanistan

@evadm
Hai ragione.
Da quello che ho letto con la modifica in proposta la magistratura sarà più influenzata dalle azioni di governo.
E la costituzione prevede che i tre poteri dello stato debbano rimanere indipendenti, e già la funzione parlamentare è stata indebolita.

@celesteh@hachyderm.io @jnkrtech@treehouse.systems I think it's partly because JavaScript is more commonly used for building consumer products compared to other languages, so there's a higher proportion of developers focused on shipping products rather than diving deep into infrastructure. When you're building a product, you naturally extract just enough to solve your immediate problem and move on. Languages like Rust tend to attract more developers interested in tooling and infrastructure work, where yak shaving is almost expected. The ecosystem reflects the priorities of its community.
