### 🟪 user.js
A `user.js` is a configuration file that can control Firefox settings—for a more technical breakdown and explanation,
you can read more in the [wiki](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/2.1-User.js).
### 🟩 the arkenfox user.js
[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
The `arkenfox user.js` is a **template** which aims 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).
Everyone, experts included, should at least read the [wiki](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki), as it contains
important information regarding a few `user.js` settings. There is also an
[interactive current release](https://arkenfox.github.io/gui/), thanks to [icpantsparti2](https://github.com/icpantsparti2).
Note that we **don't** recommend connecting over Tor on Firefox. Use the
[Tor Browser](https://www.torproject.org/download) if your
[threat model](https://2019.www.torproject.org/about/torusers.html) calls for it, or for accessing hidden services.
Also be aware the `arkenfox user.js` is made specifically for desktop Firefox. Using it as-is in
other Gecko-based browsers can be counterproductive, especially in the Tor Browser.
