Tired of an AI Filled Browser?

Just YESTERDAY I was moaning to G about AI being integrated into my Browser… 

“How do I get rid of it…?” 

“Nothing, it’s integrated, it’s ALWAYS gonna be there!” 

So I went digging on the internet and let me just say: “Bless you Corbin Davenport!!! 

(Corbin Davenport)

Who is Corbin, and why are we blessing him?  

• Corbin is a tech writer, software developer, and (of course since EVERYONE has one these days) a podcaster! 

That’s the who, now the why! 

• Corbin has released a tool to help users like me escape the integrated browser AI harassment. 

It’s called “Just the Browser!” And that’s exactly what it is!!! 

It’s script or code, that is designed to eliminate most AI features, shopping integrations, sponsored and third-party content, unwanted pop-ups and prompts, data collection, and more. 

In his blog, Corbin said:  

• “Chrome gives you coupon codes while shopping. Microsoft Edge fills the New Tab page with clickbait garbage articles from MSN, and previously tried to sell you loans. The generative AI era has made this even worse. Google’s Gemini AI is now everywhere in Chrome!”  
• “The goal is to give you ‘just the browser’ and nothing else, using hidden settings in web browsers intended for companies and other organizations.” 

If it sounds like something for you, then firstly I would recommend getting yourself a computer savvy friend because to install it, you need a terminal. And then from there, the guides for all the browsers can be found on the website justthebrowser.com 

Here’s the thing, the browser companies themselves are not ignorant of people getting tired of AI!  

Firefox themselves said they would add an “AI Kill Switch” after the public response following an announcement Firefox made that they “will evolve into a modern AI browser,” adding a range of new built-in tools. 

So if you’re tired of all the noise, if you just want to quietly browse on your computer “Just the Browser” is then clearly for you! 

Now, can someone design browser that automatically deletes your browser history?
