A lightweight utility designed to give you ultimate control over your Brave Browser. Lock down telemetry, enforce strict privacy standards, and strip away built-in browser bloatware—all from a single, clean interface.
Supported on Windows and MacOS!
Important
This tool is currently not built for Linux. On Linux, it is recommended to use Brave Origin. Brave Origin is free to use on Linux and debloats Brave out of the box.

- Install Homebrew:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" - Install Python:
brew install python - Install Tkinter support:
brew install python-tk
curl -sO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xXSalamanderXx/SlimBrave/main/SlimBrave-MacOS.py && python3 SlimBrave-MacOS.py
