- no need to enforce defaults (except the second cross-origin) = less items in prefs and about:support
- simplify header info
- add in that you need an extension for real control: i.e for most people, e.g I use uMatrix and have never can to whitelist anything. Kolanich has been on settings of 2 for years and only found one broken site: these are anecdotal and don;t reflect the real world: which is why the settings are pretty relaxed
- move the broken info out of header and onto the pref in a setup tag

- thanks Kolanich and 🐈
- 0910 same as default for desktop. Android is the opposite, must be for a reason. Android is not really my concern.
- 1005: always been inactive: one less warning to deal with
- 1008: always been inactive. defaults are 60, 60
All of these are the same as default, checked back to ESR60 and Ff60. Except 2211 which is not considered an issue by TB for example, and it doesn't enhance anything IMO
Lets be consistent, we don't make min active as it alters your FP, and the risk is super low (updated the telemetry stat: down from 2% to 0.5%). Default max is now 4 anyway (don't care about ESR - they should be using the v60 archive).
Instead of being inactive, remove this. WebRTC is already blocked. And it can also be controlled by 1820. Redundant and does nothing extra for privacy, security etc
At best disabling the background update of gmp means not only an extra item for those who wish to use it (e.g widevine, netflix) to have to deal with, but also a time delay in getting the actual download. At worst, it could cause users to use an old dll (security risk).
I will leave it in, for now, but am seriously considering removing it, so don't cry if I do.
- SB: disabling it nothing to enhance privacy/security etc if changed from default
- SB: I will not provide the prefs or encourage users to disable these, especially given that there is a UI
- SB: the urls are redundant
- SB: note: the binary checks stays
- TP section is out of date (or soon will be), I'm not maintaining it, it has a UI and is best handled there
