<a href="https://github.com/hjstephens09/Better-Fox/blob/master/user.js">BetterFox user.js</a> is intended for mid-range PCs (i.e. ~6GB RAM). This applies strictly to the first set of preferences, all of which are found in <a href="https://github.com/hjstephens09/Better-Fox/blob/master/FastFox.js">FastFox</a>. Even if you don't thoroughly read the other two branches (PeskyFox and SecureFox), and you're simply downloading and inserting <a href="https://github.com/hjstephens09/Better-Fox/blob/master/user.js">BetterFox user.js</a> as it is, you still need to read through <a href="https://github.com/hjstephens09/Better-Fox/blob/master/FastFox.js">FastFox</a>.
If you have a budget PC or high-end machine, please adjust preferences found in <a href="https://github.com/hjstephens09/Better-Fox/blob/master/FastFox.js">FastFox</a> to what is appropriate for your machine. Most of the preferences work with a simple copy+paste. The rest of the prefs in the user.js (found in PeskyFox and SecureFox) can be applied universally on any machine.

## about:Privacy
<b>My note to SUPER, super privacy-concious users:</b> I made Firefox as secure as I could to the point of breakage. So things like WebGL and DRM are still enabled, and you won't find settings like <privacy.firstparty.isolate> or <network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy> mentioned here. <b>BetterFox is designed to set-and-forget, not to troubleshoot and tinker.</b> If your threat level calls for not just privacy but anonymity, please use the <a href="https://www.torproject.org">TOR browser</a>. Or if you want to use my configs as a baseline to tinker with Firefox further, then have at it! 👍 <b>My note to SUPER, super privacy-concious users:</b> I made Firefox as secure as I could to the point of breakage.
