-## BEFORE YOU BEGIN
-I have attempted the following troubleshooting suggestions:
-- [ ] The issue persists when using Firefox in [Troubleshoot Mode](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode).
-- [ ] 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).
-- [ ] [Cleared website data](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cookies-and-site-data-firefox), restarted Firefox, and my issue persists.
-- [ ] I have created a [new profile](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles). The issue persists when using the current [user.js](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/master/user.js) file on GitHub. (Must be in a new profile and a new user.js!)

-
+[about:config](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox) tweaks to enhance [Mozilla Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/).
 
 ## Made for everyday browsing
-**A secure, blazing fast browsing experience. Without breakage.** The 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 😓
+Make Firefox more private and secure — without using third-party code.
 
+Betterfox is an opinionated preference list inspired by the [law of diminishing returns](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1206/1*lcOcxriV_II_lZuXQYLoXg.jpeg) and the [minimum effective dose](https://medium.com/the-mission/less-is-more-the-minimum-effective-dose-e6d56625931e).
+
+## Required reading
+0) Create a [backup profile](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/wiki/Backup).
+1) Download the user.js file [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/main/user.js) (Right click > `Save Link As…`).
+2) Review both [Common Overrides](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/wiki/Common-Overrides) and [Optional Hardening](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/wiki/Optional-Hardening) to make any necessary changes.
+3) Open Firefox. In the URL bar, type `about:profiles` and press **Enter**.
+4) For the profile you want to use, click **Open Folder** in the **Root Directory** section.
+5) Move the `user.js` file into the folder.

+*After restarting Firefox:*
+1) Get an **ad blocker** like [uBlock Origin](https://addons.mozilla.org/blog/ublock-origin-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-ad-blocker/) with our [recommended filters](https://github.com/yokoffing/filterlists#guidelines).
+2) Enable **DNS-level protection** with your chosen [provider](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/wiki/Optional-Hardening#secure-dns) to further protect against security threats, ads, and trackers.
 
 ## Simple goals
 1) **Minimalism:** get what isn't needed out of the way
 2) **Efficiency:** unleash Firefox's ability to be fast and performant

-| [Securefox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/master/Securefox.js) | Telemetry blocked. [HTTPS-by-Default](https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/08/10/firefox-91-introduces-https-by-default-in-private-browsing/). [Total Cookie Protection](https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/02/23/total-cookie-protection/) with [site isolation](https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/05/18/introducing-site-isolation-in-firefox/). Enhanced [state](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Privacy/State_Partitioning) and [network](https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/01/26/supercookie-protections/) partitioning. Various other enhancements. |

-
-## about:Privacy
-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.
-
-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
-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).
-* 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)).
-   * 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).
+| [user.js](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/user.js) | All the essentials. None of the breakage. This is your `user.js`. |
+| [Securefox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Securefox.js) | Protect user data without causing site breakage. |
+| [Peskyfox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Peskyfox.js)  | Provide a clean, distraction-free browsing experience. |
+| [Smoothfox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Smoothfox.js)<br>(optional) | Get Edge-like smooth scrolling on your favorite browser — or choose something more your style. |

+install(-betterfox).py
+
+Usage:
+    python install.py
+    
+
+When called without arguments, it will:
+- Backup your current firefox profile
+- Automatically download user.js from the latest Betterfox release compatible with your Firefox version into the profile
+- Apply user-overrides in the same directory 
+
+However, you can check out install.py/betterfox-install.exe --help to customise most behaviours!
+
+Limitations:
+- When using a different repositoy as a source, that repository needs to use the same releases workflow
+- Over time, the get_releases might not list older releases due to limited page size. This can be expanded down the road, though
+
+Building into an exe (on Windows):
+- pipx install pyinstaller  (note: you can try without pipx, but this didn't work for me)
+- Run:
+  - CMD:  `pyinstaller --onefile --name install-betterfox install.py && move %cd%\\dist\\install-betterfox.exe %cd% && del install-betterfox.spec && rmdir /S /Q build && rmdir dist`
+  - BASH: `pyinstaller --onefile --name install-betterfox install.py && && mv dist/install-betterfox.exe . && rm install-betterfox.spec && rm -rf ./build/ && rmdir dist`
+  (Sorry, didn't want to add a .gitignore solely for the install script)
+- Done!
+
+If there's any problems with the script, feel free to mention @Denperidge on GitHub!

+#### A user.js for Waterfox
+Just FYI: There are some long-term issues with Waterfox where the browser doesn't load certain internal settings or resets prefs after restart. For examples, see https://github.com/BrowserWorks/waterfox/issues/3196 and https://github.com/BrowserWorks/waterfox/issues/3947.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Fork-specific files are side projects and will not update every release. When in doubt, use the standard Firefox user.js.
+>
+> This is also a reminder that Waterfox is based on the [Firefox ESR](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/firefox-esr-release-cycle) release cycle.
