/******
* name: arkenfox user.js
-* date: 5 February 2024
-* version: 122
+* date: 7 June 2024
+* version: 126
* urls: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js [repo]
* : https://arkenfox.github.io/gui/ [interactive]
* license: MIT: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/blob/master/LICENSE.txt
+* README:
+
+ 1. Consider using Tor Browser 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/arkenfox/user.js/wiki
+ 3. If you skipped step 2, return to step 2
+ 4. Make changes in a user-overrides.js
+ * 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
+ 5. Some tag info
+ [SETUP-SECURITY] it's one item, read it
+ [SETUP-WEB] can cause some websites to break
+ [SETUP-CHROME] changes how Firefox itself behaves (i.e. not directly website related)
+ 6. Override Recipes: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/issues/1080
+
+* RELEASES: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/releases
+
+ * Use the arkenfox release that matches your Firefox version
+ - DON'T wait for arkenfox to update Firefox, nothing major changes these days
+ * Each release
+ - run prefsCleaner to reset prefs made inactive, including deprecated (9999)
+ * ESR
+ - It is recommended to not use the updater, or you will get a later version which may cause issues.
+ So you should manually append your overrides (and keep a copy), and manually update when you
+ change ESR releases (arkenfox is already past that release)
+ - If you decide to keep updating, then the onus is on you - also see section 9999
