For specific example, this particular one disables the bookmarks toolbar, reader mode, Firefox Sync, and screen reader accessibility. Opinionated does not imply “Better”, even if the name claims otherwise.
- mst 3y agoI appreciated that the accessibility thing is called out as the top entry on the list of changes it makes you may want to override. If it's genuinely just munching CPU if you don't use it, then turning it off by default with a warning that it's going to do that seems pretty reasonable. (I've not tried their user.js and probably won't, but "realising the accessibility tools thing was important enough to go at the top even if the vast majority of users will care more about other entries in the list" seems like an indication that at least some thought has gone into this)
- yokoffing 3y agoThe first two prefs are commented out (using //) and are not in the user.js itself, and the latter two are in the user.js but are 1) easy to re-enable and 2) the repo indicates how to enable them if you need them. Please read the Github page.
- altairprime 3y agoThere’s two user js files. One has all four. The other has two of four. Note the comments at the top if you’d like to distinguish between them, though certainly others will not. I also see a disable for 0RTT; why? (Probably for the same reason that disabling TLS 1.2 was popular a few years ago.) Webrender is force-enabled; anyone that this causes startup crashes for is out of luck. Autofill and password saving is disabled; hope you migrated to a third-party app before using this. I reiterate: Opinionated does not mean Better. It just means opinionated.
