The average user doesn't need all user_prefs altered to get the results they want. Most repos I've encountered have niche privacy and security concerns with little regard for speed, annoyances, or mainstream use. You can compare different user.js files here.īetterFox was created with a less is more mentality (i.e., keeping in mind the law of diminishing returns). BetterFox is designed to set-and-forget, not to troubleshoot and tinker. My guiding principle was: "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. (That puts a whole new twist on being a foxy grandma!) Edit: Sorry for the dad joke 😓 about:Privacy My 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. If you want a secure, blazing fast browsing experience, and don't want to deal with breakage, this setup is for you.
