## about:Privacy
My guiding principle was: "If it breaks it, it doesn't make it!" So things like WebGL and DRM are still enabled, and you won't find a setting like `privacy.resistFingerprinting` mentioned here. BetterFox is designed to set-and-forget, not to troubleshoot and tinker. You can compare different user.js files [here](https://yokoffing.github.io/compare-user.js/).
Betterfox was created with a [less is more](https://medium.com/the-mission/less-is-more-the-minimum-effective-dose-e6d56625931e) mentality. Most repos I've encountered have niche privacy and security concerns with little regard for speed, annoyances, or mainstream use. The average user doesn't need all `user_prefs` altered to get the results they want.
BetterFox was created with a [less is more](https://medium.com/the-mission/less-is-more-the-minimum-effective-dose-e6d56625931e) mentality (i.e., keeping in mind [the law of diminishing returns](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/lawofdiminishingmarginalreturn.asp)). Most repos I've encountered have niche privacy and security concerns with little regard for speed, annoyances, or mainstream use.

## Assumptions
That being said, Betterfox does make some assumptions:
That being said, BetterFox does make some assumptions:
* **Google Safe Browsing** is removed. If you don't have other means of protection, you should remove the preferences listed for this section to leave it enabled.
* The native **password manager** is also disabled. Betterfox assumes you use a different password manager. If you don't have something like [LastPass](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lastpass-password-manager/) or [Bitwarden](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bitwarden-password-manager/), then remove the prefs that disable this functionality.

* You should have [Ghostery](https://github.com/yokoffing/Better-Fox/wiki/Ghostery) or [uBlock Origin](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/) for content blocking. Using DNS-level protection like [NextDNS](https://nextdns.io/?from=xujj63g5) is highly recommended.
* If your threat level calls for _anonymity_ and not just reasonable _privacy,_ please use the [TOR browser](https://www.torproject.org). 👍
