Thorin-Oakenpants f74b327403 9999 revamp 
Nits, review syntax etc. Note: 2 items missing deprecation bugzilla tickets, we can get those in time. Note if each section number is made active, the prefs are also - except those which either match the current js (eg TP/SB not active but we do block reporting) or they make no sense or were inactive originally (eg personal 3000 settings etc) - might want to review those choices as well. Also, a few numbers etc changed to match current numbers (eg replaced by items etc, new sections)

README.md

user.js

A user.js is a configuration file that can control hundreds of Firefox settings. For a more technical breakdown and explanation, you can read more on the overview wiki page.

ghacks user.js

The ghacks user.js is a template, which, as provided, aims ( with add-ons 1 ) 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).

We aim to INFORM and give you CHOICES. No one size fits all, so customize it! And not all sites have the same requirements, so use profiles with custom versions. We won't set you wrong.

INFORMATION IS POWER. So you can make informed decisions to better protect yourself online, we aim to be:

  • Accessible (provide information and simpler, less-technical descriptions if possible)
  • Accountable (provide reputable references/sources, test sites, dispel bad advice)
  • Change trackable (yay! we're on github now, with commits)
  • Compatible (including a deprecated section, releases)
  • Comprehensive (including enforcing defaults and future-proofing)
  • Current and up-to-date with stable (including changelogs)
  • Detailed (preference versioning, hidden preference information, explanations, and more)
  • Easy to use and discuss (sections, sub-sections, numbering)
  • Helpful (including a wiki with features such as add-ons, user scripts, references and more)
  • Innovative (formatting, special tags, and future plans such as branches)

usage

Everyone, experts included, should at least read the implementation wiki page, as it contains important information regarding a few default settings we use. The rest of the wiki is helpful as well.

2 The ghacks user.js was an independent project by Thorin-Oakenpants started in early 2015 and was first published at ghacks in August 2015. It was kept up-to-date and expanded by the original author with three major updates and articles. With Martin Brinkmann's blessing, it will keep the ghacks name.
