The `thunderbird user.js` is a **template** which aims to provide as much privacy and enhanced security as possible, and to reduce tracking and fingerprinting as much as possible - while minimizing any loss of functionality and breakage (but it will happen).

Everyone, experts included, should at least read the [wiki](https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js/wiki), as it contains important information regarding a few `user.js` settings.

It differs from the `arkenfox user.js` in that the focus is to keep Thunderbird as an **e-mail client** and disable as many web browsing features as possible. We believe web browsing should be done in a web browser, and not an email client.

TorBirdy is actually not compatible against Thunderbird >= v68 > See <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/31341>
2020-11-01 23:25:58 +01:00
- If you're using Thunderbird (< 68) with Tor we suggest that you install the [TorBirdy](https://addons.thunderbird.net/addon/torbirdy) add-on. If you are using Tor, you should also consider using [Tails](https://tails.boum.org/) or [Whonix](https://www.whonix.org/).
- If you're using **Gmail**, please check [this article about OAuth2](https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js/wiki/3.1-OAuth2-Users).
- For information about [extensions](https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions), see the Wiki.
- **Calendar** users should [see this page](https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js/wiki/4.1.1-Calendar).

Also be aware that this `user.js` is made specifically for Thunderbird and is only being tested against releases with extended support (ESR).
