Browser De-Slop

Modern browsers come with excessive bloatware that can be disabled through policy configuration files rather than manual settings. The article provides specific file paths for configuring Firefox, Chromium, and Chrome across different operating systems (FreeBSD, Ubuntu, RedHat, Windows, and macOS) to disable telemetry, AI features, tracking protection, and other unwanted functionality while installing privacy-focused extensions like uBlock Origin. It includes a sample Firefox policy configuration that disables Pocket, Firefox Accounts, DNS-over-HTTPS, and search suggestions while setting DuckDuckGo as the default search engine.
