* version: v78-beta5
* url: https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js
* license: MIT (https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js/blob/master/LICENSE)
* releases: https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js/releases

* README:
  0. Consider using Tor
  1. READ the full README
    * https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js/blob/master/README.md
  2. READ this
    * https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js/wiki/1.3-Implementation
  3. If you skipped steps 1 and 2 above (shame on you), then here is the absolute minimum
    * Auto-installing updates for Thunderbird and extensions are disabled (section 0302)
    * Real time binary checks with Google services are disabled (section 0412)
    * Browsing related technologies, and JavaScript disabled. Use your web browser for browsing.
    * You will need to make changes, and to troubleshoot at times (choose wisely, there is always a trade-off).
       While not 100% definitive, search for "[SETUP". If required, add each pref to your overrides section at
       default values (or comment them out and reset them in about:config). Here are the main ones:
        [SETUP-INSTALL] if you experience any issue during Thunderbird setting up, read it
        [SETUP-FEATURE] if you miss some (expected) Thunderbird features, read it
       [SETUP-SECURITY] it's one item, read it
            [SETUP-WEB] can cause some websites to break
         [SETUP-CHROME] changes how Thunderbird itself behaves (i.e. NOT directly website related)
           [SETUP-PERF] may impact performance
         [SETUP-HARDEN] maybe you should consider using the Tor Browser
    * [WARNING] tags are extra special and used sparingly, so heed them
  4. BACKUP your profile folder before implementing (and/or test in a new/cloned profile)
  5. KEEP UP TO DATE: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki#small_orange_diamond-maintenance

     Starting in user.js v68, we only disable the auto-INSTALL of Thunderbird.
     You still get prompts to update, in one click.
     We have NEVER disabled auto-CHECKING, and highly discourage that.
     Previously we also disabled auto-INSTALLING of extensions (0302b).
     There are many legitimate reasons to turn off auto-INSTALLS, including hijacked or monetized
     extensions, time constraints, legacy issues, dev/testing, and fear of breakage/bugs. It is
     still important to do updates for security reasons, please do so manually if you make changes.

/*** [SECTION 1000]: CACHE / FAVICONS
     Cache tracking/fingerprinting techniques [1][2][3] require a cache. Disabling disk (1001)
     *and* memory (1003) caches is one solution; but that's extreme and fingerprintable. A hardened
     Temporary Containers configuration can effectively do the same thing, by isolating every tab [4].

     We consider avoiding disk cache (1001) so cache is session/memory only (like Private Browsing
     mode), and isolating cache to first party (4001) is sufficient and a good balance between
     risk and performance. ETAGs can also be neutralized by modifying response headers [5], and
     you can clear the cache manually or on a regular basis with an extension.
