The objective is zero unauthorized connection (ping/telemetry/Mozilla/Google...). + +## Edit Locked Settings + +Just edit `librewolf.cfg`, save and restart LibreWolf. + + +## Cookies Settings + +Using different web services without cookies is impossible and cookie settings in a browser are very important when it come to privacy, in LibreWolf the settings are locked to avoid unwanted changes in such an important setting, but they can be easily changed in `librewolf.cfg` under `User Settings: Cookies settings`. + +## Tracking Protection + +Firefox now integrates a tracking protection feature (based on disconnect.me) it's a small content blocking list, the listing can not be edited, this feature is disabled in LibreWolf. It's recommended to use uBlock Origin instead. This feature is disabled: + +- Until it evolves and integrates at least list editing. +- Because double filtering (this + ublock) is not suitable for performance. + +You can however easily enable this feature in `librewolf.cfg` under `User Settings: Track Protection` (just comment active lines with `//` or remove the entire section). + +## Comparing Changes And Updates + +If you want to compare changes over updates or if you already have a `user.js`/`librewolf.cfg`/`policies.json`. consider using [Compare-UserJS](https://github.com/claustromaniac/Compare-UserJS), it's an amazing tool to compare user.js files and output the diffs in detailed breakdown, developed by gHack's very own resident cat, [claustromaniac](https://github.com/claustromaniac) :cat: + +Usage: If not on windows install [PowerShell](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell) then (for example) `pwsh Compare-UserJS.ps1 librewolf.cfg user.js` (Warning that PowerShell connects to Microsoft sometimes). + + |
