I had a look at what it actually does in the Firefox settings and all it seems to do is to disable one AI feature flag, change the default search engine, and then set a few other flags that are changes that you may or may not want to make, unrelated to AI. Not sure you want to run a 3rd party shell script just to do that…

For anyone interested

This is the shell script it runs on Mac/Linux: https://github.com/corbindavenport/just-the-browser/blob/mai...

For FireFox it downloads this: https://github.com/corbindavenport/just-the-browser/blob/mai...

  {
    "policies": {
      "DisableFirefoxStudies": true,
      "DisableTelemetry": true,
      "DontCheckDefaultBrowser": true,
      "FirefoxHome": {
        "SponsoredStories": false,
        "SponsoredTopSites": false,
        "Stories": false
      },
      "GenerativeAI": {
        "Enabled": false
      },
      "SearchEngines": {
        "Remove": [
          "Perplexity"
        ]
      }
    }
  }

The second sentence in the Getting Started section invites you to follow the manual guides instead of running the 3rd party shell scripts. I think this is a good way to do it -- have both options and tell people about them right at the start of the process. Is there some other way you wish they'd share this info?

There seems to be quite a lot missing from the Chrome configuration too

It's a pretty simple project, and the license is MIT. Wouldn't be hard to let them know what's missing: https://github.com/corbindavenport/just-the-browser

Are all options available to the group policy? Since this is not directly modifying your app and merely creating a group policy for the browser to use, there might be some things not able to be set there. I have not experience with these group policies. Just thinking of why something might be missing as you stated. It could also be considered out of scope for the dev making this project.

Seems like this is for the people that need to execute random powershell scripts they don't understand in order to turn of telemetry and copilot on Windows because reading about the registry and group policy is too much for them.

The Getting Started section invites you to follow the manual guides instead of running the scripts. That's what I did, and I really appreciate the site/guides.

I mean, yes ...?

Stupid to run random scripts you find online, but browser makers push users into it.

My son wants to eat "Chinese" food with chopsticks, but he can only really use a fork, so we adapt the chopsticks. He'll be able to use them eventually, but not everyone has a) the desire, nor b) the dexterity.

Making it easier to do what users want with a computer without telling them 'just learn to program' (or script in this case) is actually a good thing imo.

As far as I can see all these Firefox options can be set through the UI as well.
