 ## BEFORE YOU BEGIN
 I have attempted the following troubleshooting suggestions:
-- [ ] [Cleared website data](https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/clear-browser-cache-firefox.png), restarted Firefox, and my issue persists.
+- [ ] The issue persists when using Firefox in [Troubleshoot Mode](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode).
-- [ ] No issues when using the website or extension in another web browser.
+- [ ] Disabled DNS-level content blocking (AdGuard Home, NextDNS, Control D, RethinkDNS, PiHole, etc), [cleared my DNS cache](https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-flush-your-dns-cache), and used my ISP's DNS resolver (if applicable).
-- [ ] The issue persists when using Firefox in [Safe Mode](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-safe-mode).

-:bulb: `Securefox`, `Peskyfox`, `Fastfox`, and `Smoothfox` are guides to relevant prefs in Firefox. The `user.js` is curated from the prefs located in these documents, so just because a pref is in one of the guides doesn't mean it is included in the final document, the `user.js`. Please use the descriptions and references as a guide for the prefs in Firefox, and open a [feature request](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/issues/new/choose) if you think one can be improved upon.

 ## about:Privacy
-The guiding principle is: "If it breaks it, it doesn't make it!" So things like WebGL and DRM are still enabled, and you won't find a setting like `privacy.resistFingerprinting` mentioned here ([why?](https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/wuqpgi/are_there_any_aboutconfig_tweaks_to_get_smooth/ile3whx/?context=3)). Betterfox is designed to set-and-forget, not to troubleshoot and tinker. You can compare different user.js files [here](https://jm42.github.io/compare-user.js).
+Most repos have niche privacy and security concerns with little regard for speed, annoyances, or mainstream use. Betterfox was inspired by the [law of diminishing returns](https://pmctraining.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Law-of-Diminishing-Returns-CHART.png) and the [minimum effective dose](https://medium.com/the-mission/less-is-more-the-minimum-effective-dose-e6d56625931e). For instance, features like WebGL and DRM are still enabled, and you won't find a setting like `privacy.resistFingerprinting` mentioned here<sup>^[*why?*](https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/wuqpgi/are_there_any_aboutconfig_tweaks_to_get_smooth/ile3whx/?context=3)</sup>. And while Betterfox is designed to set-and-forget, it contains plenty of options for those who like to tinker.
 
-Betterfox was created with a [less is more](https://medium.com/the-mission/less-is-more-the-minimum-effective-dose-e6d56625931e) mentality (i.e., keeping in mind [the law of diminishing returns](https://pmctraining.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Law-of-Diminishing-Returns-CHART.png)). Most repos I've encountered have niche privacy and security concerns with little regard for speed, annoyances, or mainstream use. The average user doesn't need all `prefs` altered to get the results they want.
+If your context calls for _anonymity_ and not just reasonable _privacy_, then please use [Tor Browser](https://www.torproject.org).<sup>[1](https://youtu.be/5NrbdO4yWek?t=4334)</sup> [Fingerprinting](https://smartframe.io/blog/browser-fingerprinting-everything-you-need-to-know/) is a high [threat model](https://thenewoil.org/en/guides/prologue/threatmodel/) issue that is [only addressed reasonably by Tor](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/3.3-Overrides-%5BTo-RFP-or-Not%5D).
 
 ## 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.
+Apply preferences from the [common overrides](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/issues/87) sticky if you want to revert the following behavior:
-* **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. Override this if you use assistive software.
-* 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.
+* **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).
-* 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.
+* 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.
-* **Site notifications** are disabled.
+* **Location requests** are rejected and **site notifications** are disabled.
-* **Location requests** are rejected.
-* 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.
-* [Fingerprinting](https://smartframe.io/blog/browser-fingerprinting-everything-you-need-to-know/) is a high [threat model](https://thenewoil.org/threatmodel.html) issue and is only addressed reasonably by TOR.<sup>[1](https://youtu.be/5NrbdO4yWek?t=4334)</sup> If your threat level calls for _anonymity_ and not just reasonable _privacy_, then please use the [TOR browser](https://www.torproject.org).
 
-## Mentions
+### Suggestions
+* 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).
