On using this Wiki

Linked lists below are fine, but it's hard to read them all and to filter for relevant stuff. If you wrote some of the lists or saw something interesting in it, please add it as issue and not in the wiki. If possible with some link to more information and some short description what it does (and maybe why this is relevant).

To collect and discuss settings, try adding them to the groups in the next section. We can then try to cleanup what's needed and extract them into commits issues.

Groups:

• Website Tracking (Beacons, Pings, different techniques used for evercookie, ...)
• Firefox Tracking (Healthreport, Addon Metadata)
• Security Settings (TLS-Features, WebGL, etc.)
• Privacy Settings (Referer, etc.)
• Unwanted Features (optional) (Pocket, Geo-Location, ...)
• Unwanted Features (obstrusive) (Phishing Protection, etc.)

My @gunnersson Mozilla settings

Me @gunnersson took 1. - 9. from above and tried to merge them.
Please note:

• haven't restricted every phoning home to Mozilla, but it's covered at @allo-
• haven't touched fonts settings yet, need reasonable compromise comfort<>fingerprint
• haven't touched WebGL settings yet, need reasonable compromise comfort<>fingerprint
• haven't touched most network speedups, too much stuff and too much research needed, up to user if he/she wants
• haven't listed some entries I don't use, but are covered at @allo-

https://github.com/gunnersson/my_Mozilla_settings/tree/master/Firefox
https://github.com/gunnersson/my_Mozilla_settings/tree/master/Thunderbird

Testing facilities:

• please refer to https://github.com/gunnersson/my_Mozilla_settings/blob/master/FYI.md

Notes:

• if Firefox Profilemaker becomes a Firefox add-on: I have seen some useful add-ons before. Do research.

Look into:

• Meta Referer: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704320 is it already fine or can we even improve with this? How does it affect the referer settings? Seems fine. TODO: Remove this section here later or add it as issue, if it's not already fine.
