+*    name: arkenfox user.js
+*    date: 5 October 2022
+* version: 105
+*     url: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js
+* license: MIT: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/blob/master/LICENSE.txt
+
+* README:
+
+  1. Consider using Tor Browser if it meets your needs or fits your threat model
+       * https://2019.www.torproject.org/about/torusers.html
+  2. Read the entire wiki
+       * https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki
+  3. If you skipped step 2, return to step 2
+  4. Make changes in a user-overrides.js
+       * There are often trade-offs and conflicts between security vs privacy vs anti-tracking
+         and these need to be balanced against functionality & convenience & breakage
+       * Some site breakage and unintended consequences will happen. Everyone's experience will differ
+         e.g. some user data is erased on exit (section 2800), change this to suit your needs
+       * While not 100% definitive, search for "[SETUP" tags
+         e.g. third party images/videos not loading on some sites? check 1601
+  5. Some tag info
+       [SETUP-SECURITY] it's one item, read it
+            [SETUP-WEB] can cause some websites to break
+         [SETUP-CHROME] changes how Firefox itself behaves (i.e. not directly website related)
+  6. Override Recipes: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/issues/1080
+
+* RELEASES: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/releases
+
+  * It is best to use the arkenfox release that is optimized for and matches your Firefox version
+  * EVERYONE: each release
+    - run prefsCleaner to reset prefs made inactive, including deprecated (9999s)
+    ESR102
+    - If you are not using arkenfox v102-1... (not a definitive list)
+      - 2815: clearOnShutdown cookies + offlineApps should be false
+      - 9999: switch the appropriate deprecated section(s) back on
