|

* url: https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js

* license: MIT (https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js/blob/master/LICENSE)
|
|
|
|
* README:
|
|
|
|
1. Consider using Tor if it meets your needs or fits your threat model
|
|
* https://2019.www.torproject.org/about/torusers.html
|
|
2. Read the entire wiki
|
|
* https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js/wiki
|
|
3. If you skipped step 2, return to step 2
|
|
4. Make changes
|
|
* There are often trade-offs and conflicts between security vs privacy vs anti-tracking
|
|
and these need to be balanced against functionality & convenience & breakage
|
|
* Some site breakage and unintended consequences will happen. Everyone's experience will differ
|
|
e.g. some user data is erased on exit (section 2800), change this to suit your needs
|
|
* While not 100% definitive, search for "[SETUP" tags
|
|
e.g. wanna re-enable account auto configuration? check 9101 & 9102
|
|
5. Some tag info
|
|
[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)
|
|
|
|
* RELEASES: https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js/releases
|
|
* It is best to use the release that is optimized for and matches your Thunderbird version
|
|
* ESR91 users
|
|
- If you are not using thunderbird-user.js v91... (not a definitive list)
|
|
- 9999: switch the appropriate deprecated section(s) back on
