Growser, a new open-source fork of the Brave browser, removes features out of the box rather than requiring users to switch them off. Telemetry, Brave Rewards, the crypto wallet, the VPN and the AI assistant are stripped directly from the build, while ads and trackers are blocked by default. Privacy-minded users are sharing it as a leaner, no-config alternative to Brave.

Why now: Users interested in privacy and minimal browsers are discussing a fork that removes Brave's bundled features by default.
