// Firefox concurrently sends requests for cached resources to both the

// loads pages faster because the network can be quicker than accessing the cache
// on a hard drive. When RCWN is enabled, the request might be served from
// the server even if you have valid entry in the cache. Set to false if your
// intention is to increase cache usage and reduce network usage.

// resources or subresources used on those pages.
// Enabling link prefetching allows Firefox to preload pages tagged as important.
// The browser prefetches links with the prefetch-link tag, fetching resources
// likely needed for the next navigation at low priority. When clicking a link
// or loading a new page, prefetching stops and discards hints. Prefetching
// downloads resources without executing them.
// [NOTE] Since link prefetch uses the HTTP cache, it has a number of issues
// with document prefetches, such as being potentially blocked by Cache-Control headers
// (e.g. cache partitioning).

// user prepares to go to that webpage (upon navigation? URL bar? mouseover?), this history can be used
// to predict what resources will be needed rather than wait for the document to link those resources.

// information leakage about your browsing patterns.

## Required reading
*If you don't have it already: [Get Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release)*
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 [Common Overrides](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/wiki/Common-Overrides) and make any necessary changes.
* See also [Optional Hardening](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/wiki/Optional-Hardening) for other recommendations.
3) Open Firefox. In the URL bar, type `about:profiles` and press **Enter**.
4) For the profile you want to use (or use default), 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 [NextDNS](https://nextdns.io/?from=xujj63g5). <sup><i>Use the link and support this page!</i></sup>
* Check out our configuration [guide](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config) for the best experience.
* See how to [quickly enable](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/dns-over-https) **secure DNS** in Firefox.
