"I do not want AI in my web browser. I just don't. I also don't want companies collecting information about me, or sponsored content and product integrations. All those bits make me want to pull my hair out. I like my privacy and want to browse, you know, the old-fashioned way. I do use AI (on occasion), but only locally-installed AI and only for specific purposes (such as learning Python or researching a topic when I don't want to use a standard search engine)."
"I just want my tools to do what they're supposed to do and nothing more. Bells and whistles are all fine and good, but when they start getting in the way of efficiency and effectiveness, they become a problem. That's why, when I heard about Just The Browser, I hoped I could jettison the cruft and get back to a more focused and efficient experience in my browser."
"Just the browser strips your web browser of the things you don't want, such as AI and telemetry. It's free, easy to use, and works with the three most popular browsers (Chrome, Edge, and Firefox). I was skeptical at first, but after looking through the project's GitHub repository, I was convinced that Just The Browser was worth a try. Essentially, what Just The Browser does is apply configuration files to the browsers mentioned above, stripping them of unwanted features."
Just The Browser strips browsers of unwanted features such as AI, telemetry, sponsored content, and product integrations. The tool supports Chrome, Edge, and Firefox and is free and open-source. It applies configuration files to remove features rather than requiring manual navigation through browser flags. The tool aims to restore a focused, efficient browsing experience for privacy-minded users who prefer local AI or no AI at all. The project is available on GitHub and can be adopted instead of individually disabling settings in each browser's configuration.
