## Who is this setup for?
**If you want a secure, blazing fast browsing experience, and don't want to deal with breakage, this setup is for you.** My objective is to make the defaults sufficient enough for the average privacy-minded user, but remain trouble-free enough that my grandmother could use it. <strike>(That puts a whole new twist on being a foxy grandma!)</strike> Edit: Sorry for the dad joke 😓
## about:Privacy
**A note to hardcore privacy users:** I made [SecureFox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Better-Fox/blob/master/SecureFox.js) as private as I could, up to the point of experiencing breakage. 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 settings like 'privacy.firstparty.isolate' or 'network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy' 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/).
