A minimal fork of Brave-Browser that keeps its distance. No account, no advertising, no telemetry — taken out of the build, not switched off in a menu. Ads and trackers are blocked from the first run.

What is Growser?

Growser is a minimal fork of Brave-Browser, one of the most private browsers there is. The hard part — making Chromium private — is Brave's work: the shields, the blocker, the fingerprinting defences, the Tor windows. This fork starts from all of it and removes what a browser does not need: advertising and reward tokens, the wallet, the VPN being sold to you, the AI assistant, the telemetry, the daily ping. Everything else of Brave's stays exactly as it is, because it needs no disabling. The method is not to rewrite a good browser but to subtract from it — and the subtraction continues: each release either takes something else out or writes down why it stays.
