You must have thought Mozilla Firefox was a privacy-friendly and secure web browser, right? But by default, Firefox actually has a lot of privacy-hostile features and settings enabled. In this video, I'll show you how to disable many of the bells and whistles that come with Firefox and enable many hidden settings to make your browser even more private. We'll also compare three popular user.js files, including Betterfox, Arkenfox, and Narsil's user.js, each with different privacy levels. After a little bit of configuration, you can finally have the web browser you always dreamed Mozilla would create…
