Just the Browser at a glance
Just the Browser is a collection of group policy and enterprise configuration files for Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Brave. Using official management policies intended for businesses and organizations, it disables AI features, telemetry data reporting, sponsored content, and product integrations. For sysadmins, this is useful when endpoints should run a leaner, distraction-free browser without resorting to unofficial forks. Installation happens either via a setup script (PowerShell on Windows, shell script on macOS/Linux) or by manually applying the registry, JSON, or profile manager configuration files.
Since browser vendors regularly introduce new features and policies, the configuration files are updated irregularly whenever new unwanted features appear or existing policy names change. Releases are published on GitHub and typically contain changes to individual browser configurations rather than all supported browsers at once.
When updating, administrators should check which browsers are affected by a given release, since according to the project description, existing users of other browsers do not necessarily need to update. Before a broad rollout, it is advisable to test the new policy file for compatibility with the deployed browser version, as policy names and behavior can change between browser releases.
