## Assumptions
That being said, BetterFox does make some assumptions:
* **Google Safe Browsing** (GSB) is disabled. Please use DNS-level protection like [NextDNS](https://nextdns.io/?from=xujj63g5), and check out our configuration guide [here](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config). If you do not have other means of protection, then enable GSB locally by adding [these prefs](https://github.com/yokoffing/BetterFox/blob/b354f21405fcfedee8ae9a132eac8d243b59ced7/SecureFox.js#L974-L983) to the bottom of your `user.js`.
* 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 add [these prefs](https://github.com/yokoffing/BetterFox/blob/b354f21405fcfedee8ae9a132eac8d243b59ced7/SecureFox.js#L734-L736) to re-enable native password management.
* **Firefox Sync** is disabled. To restore functionality, change [this pref](https://github.com/yokoffing/BetterFox/blob/b354f21405fcfedee8ae9a132eac8d243b59ced7/SecureFox.js#L989-L992) to `true` and add it to your overrides, or use a addon like [xBrowserSync](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/xbs/).
* You should have [uBlock Origin](https://github.com/yokoffing/BetterFox/wiki/uBlock-Origin), [AdGuard](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adguard-adblocker/), or [Ghostery](https://github.com/yokoffing/BetterFox/wiki/Ghostery) for browser-level content blocking.
* BetterFox [allows](https://github.com/yokoffing/BetterFox/blob/eb0b47f40d18be328b9e499163ae199e7f2ef91e/SecureFox.js#L48-L55) for **embedded tweets, instagram, and reddit posts** to load on webpages, even though these requests are usually blocked when using Firefox's **Strict** Tracking Protection. To revert this behavior, add [these prefs](https://github.com/yokoffing/BetterFox/blob/5d16f192d4c7fb36cf723f2aedf118bc62bfd115/SecureFox.js#L62-L65) to the bottom of your `user.js`.
* We suggest that you [selectively allow](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-quick-guide) these requests in uBlock Origin 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/PrivacyEssentials.txt) filter to your [custom lists](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dashboard:-Filter-lists#3rd-party-filter-lists).
* You should have [uBlock Origin](https://github.com/yokoffing/BetterFox/wiki/uBlock-Origin), [AdGuard](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adguard-adblocker/), or [Ghostery](https://github.com/yokoffing/BetterFox/wiki/Ghostery) for browser-level content blocking.
* **Google Safe Browsing** (GSB) is disabled.

* **Firefox Sync** is disabled. To restore functionality, change [this pref](https://github.com/yokoffing/BetterFox/blob/b354f21405fcfedee8ae9a132eac8d243b59ced7/SecureFox.js#L989-L992) to `true`, or use a 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). :thumbsup:
