One policy file that strips the generative‑AI, ad‑tracking, and nagware out of Google Chrome — using Google's own admin controls. Your passwords, payments, and sync stay exactly where they are.
This only flips Google's own policy switches. It never reads, exports, or moves your data, and it leaves the parts of Chrome you rely on completely alone.
Every entry below is an official Chrome Enterprise policy. Hover a card to read what it shuts off. The exact values live in policy/debullshit.json.
Master kill-switch for Chrome's covered generative-AI features — Help me write, Tab organizer, themes, and the rest — set to “disabled.”
Removes the Gemini app integration baked into the browser UI.
Kills “AI Mode” in the address bar and the New Tab page search box.
Stops Chrome downloading and running its on-device AI model — also frees up disk space.
Blocks Gemini from taking actions on web pages on your behalf.
Stops sharing the contents of pages you view with AI Mode.
Disables “Ad Topics” — Chrome profiling your interests in-browser to feed advertisers.
Disables site-suggested ads (the Protected Audience / FLEDGE auction API).
Disables in-browser ad conversion measurement.
Suppresses the Privacy Sandbox consent pop-up entirely.
Disables “Related Website Sets” — the mechanism that lets a company’s family of domains share your identity across sites.
Turns on third-party cookie blocking by default — the classic cross-site tracking vector.
Stops speculative prefetching and preconnecting — Chrome phoning ahead to sites and resolving DNS before you’ve clicked.
Stops sites silently probing whether you have payment cards saved.
Removes the scary “you are using an unsupported command-line flag” banner.
Stops the “Make Chrome your default browser” pestering.
No promotional or “what’s new” welcome tabs after updates.
Kills the price-tracking and shopping “insights” nags.
Removes the Discover content feed from the New Tab page.
No “recommended media” suggestions.
Removes the cards (weather, recipes, and the rest) from the New Tab page.
Kills the “create a profile for this account?” interruption pop-ups.
Blocks the random “how satisfied are you?” survey pop-ups.
Undoes Chrome hiding the full URL — shows the real https:// and path instead of a trimmed, spoofable display.
Opts out of usage-statistics and crash reporting to Google.
Stops sending the URLs you visit to Google to “improve” Chrome.
Chrome fully exits when you close it — no lingering background process.
No binary patching. No extension reading your tabs. No injected code. The same managed-policy mechanism corporate IT uses to lock browsers down — pointed, for once, at the stuff you don’t want.
A JSON file on Linux/macOS, registry values on Windows — read straight from Google’s documented policy list.
Relaunch and the features are gone. Check chrome://policy to see every one applied.
Policies aren’t reset by Chrome updates the way flags and settings often are.
Run the installer with --uninstall (or the uninstall .reg) and you’re back to stock.
Pick your platform at the top of the page for the install command. To undo everything:
Then fully quit Chrome (Ctrl+Q / Cmd+Q), relaunch, and open chrome://policy → Reload policies. Every entry should read OK.
