How to Get Updates and Support for Just the Browser

Updated

To stay current with Just the Browser, subscribe to its GitHub releases feed (usable in Feedly, Inoreader, The Old Reader, Feedbin, or any RSS/Atom reader), or watch the GitHub repository and choose Custom > New releases. For help, open an issue on GitHub or join the project's Discord. These channels cover configuration changes, documentation updates, and script changes.

Subscribe to release updates

Just the Browser publishes an Atom feed for releases at:

https://github.com/corbindavenport/just-the-browser/releases.atom

You can add that URL to any reader. The project's own page links to Feedly and The Old Reader as ready-made subscription options, and notes the feed also works with Inoreader and Feedbin.

If you'd rather get notified through GitHub itself:

  1. Sign in to GitHub and open the repository.
  2. Click Watch.
  3. Select Custom > New releases.

Expected result: GitHub notifies you when a new release is published, which is when changes to configuration files, documentation, and scripts are announced.

Get help and report problems

The project points to two support routes:

  • GitHub issues — create an issue on the repository if you need help or want to report a problem.
  • Discord — join the project's Discord community for questions and discussion.

Before posting, check the site's "Questions and answers" section, which the project asks you to review first.

One known issue worth checking first

The FAQ addresses a specific problem: CompatTelRunner.exe constantly running, caused by a Windows bug when Just the Browser's uninstall shortcuts appear in the "Installed apps" section of Windows settings. The project states that the current installation script and registry files do not include those shortcuts, so a fresh install should not trigger it. If you see the process looping, confirm you're on the current script or registry files rather than an older version.

The feed is passive and low-noise; GitHub issues and Discord are for two-way help. Using both covers staying informed and getting unstuck.
