A collection of configuration files and installation scripts that disable AI features, telemetry, sponsored content, and other annoyances in desktop web browsers using hidden enterprise/organization settings. It supports Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Brave with one-click setup scripts and manual guides.
Use cases
- remove AI features from Chrome and Edge
- disable telemetry reporting in Firefox
- turn off sponsored content in Brave
- debloat a fresh browser install
- apply enterprise policies to a personal browser
- set up a clean browser on a new Windows or Mac machine
When to choose
- you want a stock browser without bundled AI assistants, ads, or telemetry
- you prefer official browsers but dislike their extra features
- you want documented, reversible configuration via policies rather than forks
When to avoid
- you need a fully hardened privacy browser rather than a debloated mainstream one
- you cannot or will not run scripts with administrator/root access and find manual policy edits too tedious
- you use a browser other than Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Brave
