Just the Browser
Capability: Just the Browser
Use it when
- You want to disable built-in AI assistants, sponsored shortcuts, and product integrations in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Brave without switching browsers
- You need to turn off telemetry and data reporting in desktop browsers using vendor-supported enterprise policy settings instead of fragile flags
What it solves
Not the fit when
- Content ad blocking; use a purpose-built blocker extension.
- Mobile browsers; the project targets desktop browsers.
- Blindly piping moving remote scripts into an administrator or root shell; inspect and pin privileged changes first.
- Managed workplace devices where enterprise policy is controlled by an administrator.
- Assuming the browser will look unmanaged or keep its prior update behavior; applied enterprise policies can display managed-browser notices or alter update settings.
- blocking ads or trackers on web pages
- automating browser interactions
- hardening mobile browsers
- scraping behind bot detection
Install
Prefer the browser-specific manual guides in chrome/, edge/, firefox/, or brave/. If using the provided administrator scripts, download them first, inspect and pin the exact revision, preserve the current policy state, then run the reviewed PowerShell or shell script with the required privileges.
Invoke
Apply the documented JSON, registry, or mobileconfig enterprise policies for the selected desktop browser, restart it, and verify the effective policy page and desired feature changes. Keep a record of the original policy state so the changes can be reversed.
