## Assumptions
If you use any of the features below, please view the [common overrides](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/issues/87) sticky to restore functionality.
* **Google Safe Browsing** (GSB) is disabled. We recommend use DNS-level protection like [NextDNS](https://nextdns.io/?from=xujj63g5), so check out our configuration guide [here](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config). If you have no other form of protection, then please re-enable GSB.
* 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 re-enable Firefox's password management.
* **Google Safe Browsing** (GSB) is disabled. We recommend use DNS-level protection like [NextDNS](https://nextdns.io/?from=xujj63g5), so check out our configuration guide [here](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config). :warning: If you have no other form of protection, then please enable GSB!
* Firefox **Accessibility Service** is disabled to improve resource utilization and security. This will impact external application autofill capability (the ability to use a keyboard shortcut to fill in forms including logins) and screen readers. If you use assistive software, override this.
* 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 enable Firefox's password management.
* **Embedded tweets, instagram, reddit posts, and tiktoks** load on webpages, even though these requests are usually blocked when using Firefox's [Strict Enhanced Tracking Protection](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop#w_strict-enhanced-tracking-protection).
* **Firefox Sync** and **Firefox View** are disabled.
* **Site notifications** are disabled.
* **Location requests** are rejected.

* Advanced users: We suggest that you [selectively allow](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-quick-guide) these requests in [uBlock Origin](https://addons.mozilla.org/blog/ublock-origin-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-ad-blocker/) with [medium mode](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium-mode) enabled + add the [Privacy Essentials](https://github.com/yokoffing/filterlists/blob/main/privacy_essentials.txt) filter to your [custom lists](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dashboard:-Filter-lists#3rd-party-filter-lists).
* Since Firefox implemented [state](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/537eb902106f5cacebfd7a77555193ba4573dc6e/SecureFox.js#L73-L88) and [network](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/537eb902106f5cacebfd7a77555193ba4573dc6e/SecureFox.js#L93-L100) partitioning, it is recommended but no longer necessary to **clear browsing data** after every session.
* If your threat level calls for _anonymity_ and not just reasonable _privacy_,<sup>[1](https://thenewoil.org/secprivanon.html)</sup> please use the [TOR browser](https://www.torproject.org).
