🟥 Summary: **These few items, out of 140+ pref changes, will solve 99% of usability issues and you only need to do it once**. You can always undo things (except deleted items like cookies and history and session restore: read the entire page!), and tweak over time
|
||||

|
||||
🟪 SECURITY: IMPORTANT: Pay attention!
|
||||
|
||||
- `0403`: We disable binary checks not in Safe Browsing local lists
|
||||
- :warning: If you do not understand the consequences of this, override these prefs
|
||||
|
||||
🟪 KEEP SOME COOKIES & LOGINS: Nothing to change
|
||||
|
||||
- We delete all cookies and site data on close
|
||||
- There is no need to change any prefs - just add site exceptions
|
||||
- Ctrl+I > Permissions > Cookies > Allow
|
||||
- Options > Privacy & Security > Permissions > Settings
|
||||
- For cross-domain logins you will need to add exceptions for both sites
|
||||
|
||||
🟪 COMMON: Change to suit
|
||||
|
||||
- `0102`: We disable session restore
|
||||
- If you rely on session restore you had better change this, see our [override recipe](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/issues/1080)
|
||||
- `0801`: We disable automatic search from the urlbar
|
||||
- You can still use search buttons and keyword shortcuts. If you change to a privacy respecting search engine and trust them, override this
|
||||
- `0811`: We disable search & form history
|
||||
- Form data can easily be stolen by third parties
|
||||
- see this 2017 [article](https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2017/12/27/no-boundaries-for-user-identities-web-trackers-exploit-browser-login-managers/) and these [bugzillas](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id=1443083,1427543)
|
||||
- see this 2011 [article](https://blog.mindedsecurity.com/2011/10/autocompleteagain.html) and this [bugzilla](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/381681)
|
||||
- `1223`: We enforce strict pinning
|
||||
- If you have issues with antivirus
|
||||
- `1601`: We hardened cross origin referers 🥇 `#1 ISSUE`
|
||||
- This may cause breakage where third party images and videos may not load
|
||||
- If `1601` is too strict for you, override it to default `0` and consider using Smart Referer in Strict mode
|
||||
- `2022`: We disable DRM
|
||||
- If you use Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime etc ... or consider watching those in a secondary browser
|
||||
- `2811`: We delete history (download, form and browsing histories) on close
|
||||
- Override `2811` (and `2812` for manual sanitizing) if you want
|
||||
- `4520` We disable WebGL
|
||||
- If you want it, override it
|
||||
|
||||
🟪 FINGERPRINTING
|
||||
|
||||
- `4501`: We enable RFP and `4504`: letterboxing
|
||||
- letterboxing is independent of `4501` and is the pref that creates borders around your webpages
|
||||
|
||||
Read the next wiki page to decide if you want to keep using these or instead perhaps use Canvas Blocker
|
||||
|
||||
🟪 OTHER
|
||||
|
||||
Other preferences may cause site breakage, but nothing that can't be fixed. You won't "lose" anything...- it's not the end of the world.
|
||||
|
||||
- Check our [override recipes](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/issues/1080)
|
||||
- Check already [answered](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3Aanswered) issues
|
||||
- While not 100% definitive, search for `[SETUP` in the user.js; e.g.
|
||||
* `[SETUP-WEB]` can cause some websites to break
|
||||
* `[SETUP-CHROME]` changes how Firefox itself behaves (i.e. NOT directly website related)
|
||||
- You may also want to add items e.g.
|
||||
- `5000s` optional
|
||||
- `9000s` personal
