 ## 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.

 The `user.js` — a configuration file that controls Firefox settings — is curated from these guides.
-## Getting started
+| List      | Description |
-*If you don't have it already: [Get Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release)*
+|:---------:|-------------|
-
+| [Fastfox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Fastfox.js)   | Increase Firefox's browsing speed. Give Chrome a run for its money!|
-1) Create a [backup profile](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/wiki/Backup).
+| [Securefox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Securefox.js) | Protect user data without causing site breakage. |
-2) Download the user.js file [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/main/user.js) (Right click > `Save Link As…`).
+| [Peskyfox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Peskyfox.js)  | Provide a clean, distraction-free browsing experience. |
-3) Review [Common Overrides](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/wiki/Common-Overrides) and make any necessary changes.
+| [Smoothfox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Smoothfox.js) | Get Edge-like smooth scrolling on your favorite browser — or choose something more your style. |
-4) Open Firefox. In the URL bar, type `about:profiles` and press `Enter`.
+| [user.js](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/user.js) | All the essentials. None of the breakage. This is your `user.js`. |
 5) For the profile you want to use (or use default), click `Open Folder` in the **Root Directory** section.
 6) 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). For a simple solution, use [Ghostery](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ghostery/).
 2) Enable **DNS-level protection** with [NextDNS](https://nextdns.io/?from=xujj63g5), and check out our configuration [guide](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config).
    * See how to [quickly enable](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/dns-over-https) **secure DNS** in Firefox.
 ## about:Privacy
 Betterfox is a great balance of privacy and convenience.
