I update my user-overrides.js to coincide with the latest 'arkenfox' user.js for Firefox. The repo is here and the file can be downloaded here. Changes are as follows:
Removed:
user_pref("security.ask_for_password"
user_pref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.offlineApps"
Added:
user_pref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies", false);
Thanks, I will follow your advise and get rid off the two add-ons ( the less add-ons the better) I mentioned. Actually I use your user-overrides.js as it is, I just enable the video in picture+controls because I think it is handy for watching videos…
‘pants’ confirmed for me that Enhanced Tracking Protection has no reliance upon containers
sanity check: containers and ETP · Issue #1494 · arkenfox/user.js
Thank you! I also noticed you got rid of a lot of add-ons in your “Firefox Configuration Guide for Privacy Freaks and Performance Buffs”, just 4 now. And you changed the fonts add-on for “Enforce Browser Fonts “. Time for me to re-read your guide then :-)
Hi,
I just noticed that in your settings in your user-overrides.js file you disabled containers. So this is not necessary? If I keep your settings my add-ons “Firefox multi containers”, “Google containers” are useless then? Do you advise keeping your settings with containers disables and getting rid of these two add-ons?
Thank you.
hi Damien – i just opened an issue on the arkenfox repo asking this question, though i’m 99.9% sure that containers are not necessary when Enhanced Tracking Protection is enabled, which it is in the arkenfox user.js, so yeah, you can dump those add-ons
i’ll reply again soon as i get an answer, but i’m pretty sure about this
