## Made for everyday browsing
|
||||
**A secure, blazing fast browsing experience. Without breakage.**
|
||||
## about:Privacy
|
||||
Betterfox is a great balance of privacy and convenience.
|
||||
|
||||
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).
|
||||
|
||||
## Simple goals
|
||||
1) **Minimalism:** get what isn't needed out of the way
|
||||
2) **Efficiency:** unleash Firefox's ability to be fast and performant
|
||||
3) **Privacy:** protect your data without causing site breakage
|
||||
|
||||
## Simple configs
|
||||
|
||||
`Fastfox`, `Securefox`, `Peskyfox`, and `Smoothfox` are guides to settings within Firefox.
|
||||
|
||||
The `user.js` — a configuration file that controls Firefox settings — is curated from these guides.
|
||||
|
||||
| List | Description |
|
||||
|:---------:|-------------|
|
||||
| [Fastfox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Fastfox.js) | Increase Firefox's browsing speed. Give Chrome a run for its money!|
|
||||
| [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) | Get Edge-like smooth scrolling on your favorite browser — or choose something more your style. |
|
||||
| [user.js](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/user.js) | All the essentials. None of the breakage. This is your `user.js`. |

### Browser Integration

|
||||
> While the browsers listed below incorporate Betterfox to some extent, they often modify it in ways that reduce its effectiveness. For optimal results, apply the `user.js` file even when using Firefox forks.

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!
