## Assumptions
Apply preferences from the [common overrides](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/issues/87) sticky if you want to revert the following behavior:
* Firefox **Accessibility Service** is disabled to improve resource utilization and security. Override this if you use assistive software.
* **Embedded tweets, instagram, reddit posts, and tiktoks** load on webpages, even though these requests are usually blocked when using [Strict Enhanced Tracking Protection](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop#w_strict-enhanced-tracking-protection).
* **Embedded tweets, instagram, reddit posts, and tiktoks** load on webpages, even though these requests are usually blocked when using [Strict](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop#w_strict-enhanced-tracking-protection) Enhanced Tracking Protection.
* The native **password manager** is disabled. We recommend using [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).
* **Firefox Sync** and **Firefox View** are disabled.
* **Location requests** are rejected and **site notifications** are disabled.
### Suggestions
* Enable **sanitize on close** ([clear browsing data on shutdown](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/99f2e860633f307781ddb73d792358ad1bec6af5/Securefox.js#L409-L434)).
## Suggestions
1) Change your default search engine.
* You can also choose a different search engine for Private Windows only:
1) Go to *Settings → Search → Default Search Engine*
2) Change your default search engine to DuckDuckGo, or [add](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/04c3184359c83d7b58411c3b68f40f3e9d95c373/Securefox.js#L600-L604) a premium search engine like [Kagi](https://kagi.com/).
2) Enable **sanitize on close** ([clear browsing data on shutdown](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/99f2e860633f307781ddb73d792358ad1bec6af5/Securefox.js#L409-L434)).
* You can **allow exceptions** if you want to stay logged in to some sites:
1) Go to *Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Exceptions*
2) Check *Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed*.
* Use [uBlock Origin](https://addons.mozilla.org/blog/ublock-origin-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-ad-blocker/) or [Ghostery](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ghostery/) to block ads and trackers.
* Add DNS-level protection like [NextDNS](https://nextdns.io/?from=xujj63g5). Check out our configuration guide [here](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config).
3) Use [uBlock Origin](https://addons.mozilla.org/blog/ublock-origin-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-ad-blocker/) or [Ghostery](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ghostery/) to block ads and trackers with our [custom filters](https://github.com/yokoffing/filterlists).
