I'm excited to release Just the Browser!

[corbin@toot.community]

@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 or GNOME Web, ut does not have any of that and constantly gets better.

[tadbithuman@mastodon.social]

@corbin does it work with Vanadium on Graphene OS?

[paulhellyer@mastodon.nz]

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

[greenleafies@flipping.rocks]

@corbin Thank you for putting in all this effort!

@corbin

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

[corbin@toot.community]

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

[corbin@toot.community]

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

[scoopex@mastodon.social]

@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

[clayote@peoplemaking.games]

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

[mycroft@meow.social]

@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

[miguelguerreiro@ecoevo.social]

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

[onabi@social.tchncs.de]

@corbin

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.

@tadbithuman
Inhowfar is Vanadium on Graphene problematic?
(Using it, too)

@corbin

[lxsameer@mastodon.social]

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

[tadbithuman@mastodon.social]

@corbin Thank you!
