## about:Privacy ## 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. Better-Fox 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/).

Better-Fox 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. The average user doesn't need all `user_prefs` altered to get the results they want.

## Assumptions ## Assumptions
That being said, Better-Fox 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. * **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. * The native **password manager** is also disabled. If you don't use something like [KeePass](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keepassxc-browser/), [Bitwarden](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bitwarden-password-manager/), or [1Password](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1password-x-password-manager), then remove the prefs that disable this functionality.
* You should have [uBlock Origin](https://github.com/yokoffing/Better-Fox/wiki/uBlock-Origin) or [Ghostery](https://github.com/yokoffing/Better-Fox/wiki/Ghostery) for content blocking. Using DNS-level protection like [NextDNS](https://nextdns.io/?from=xujj63g5) is highly recommended. * Firefox **Sync** is disabled. Enable those prefs or use a recommended addon like [xBrowserSync](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/xbs/).
* If your threat level calls for _anonymity_ and not just reasonable _privacy,_ please use the [TOR browser](https://www.torproject.org). 👍 * You should have [uBlock Origin](https://github.com/yokoffing/BetterFox/wiki/uBlock-Origin), [Ghostery](https://github.com/yokoffing/BetterFox/wiki/Ghostery), or [AdGuard](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adguard-adblocker/) for browser-level content blocking.
* Using DNS-level protection like [NextDNS](https://nextdns.io/?from=xujj63g5) is also highly recommended. (You can check out the NextDNS Guide [here](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config).)
* If your threat level calls for _anonymity_ and not just reasonable _privacy,_ please use the [TOR browser](https://www.torproject.org). :thumbsup:
