This repo and the interactive webpage linked below are the only official sources - do not trust any other sites claiming to be Arkenfox

🟪 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

🟩 the arkenfox user.js

License: 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, as it contains important information regarding a few user.js settings. There is also an interactive current release, thanks to icpantsparti2.

Note that we do not recommend connecting over Tor on Firefox. Use the Tor Browser if your threat model calls for it, or for accessing hidden services.

Also be aware that 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.

这是什么?arkenfox user.js 是一份由社区维护的 Firefox 配置模板,用于加固隐私和安全设置,力求尽可能减少跟踪和指纹识别,同时尽量保证浏览器仍然好用。
这是 Firefox 扩展,还是普通配置文件?它是一个纯文本配置文件(user.js),不是浏览器附加组件。它直接覆盖 Firefox 的内部偏好设置来生效,因此不需要从附加组件商店安装任何东西。
我到底该怎么把它应用到浏览器上?从仓库下载 user.js 文件,放入你的 Firefox 配置文件夹,然后重启 Firefox,新的偏好设置覆盖才会生效。
它能用于任何基于 Gecko 的浏览器吗,比如 Tor Browser?不能。它是专门为桌面版 Firefox 打造的。直接在其他基于 Gecko 的浏览器中使用,尤其是 Tor Browser,可能会适得其反。
应用这些设置会导致网站无法正常使用吗?会的。为了增强隐私和反指纹识别能力,部分功能丧失和网站显示异常是可以预见的代价。
为什么不应该把它和 Tor Browser 搭配使用来获得额外的匿名性?arkenfox 的加固是针对桌面版 Firefox 的威胁模型调校的,而不是针对 Tor Browser 的匿名集合。两者混用反而可能让你的浏览器指纹更加独特,而不是更难识别。项目方明确警告不要这样做。
除了直接阅读原始文件,有没有更简单的方式浏览这些设置?有。一位贡献者制作了一个交互式网页,你可以在上面浏览当前版本的设置及其说明,无需逐行翻看 user.js 文件。
我怎么判断文件副本是否可靠?项目方声明,它的 GitHub 仓库和其链接的交互式网页是唯一的官方来源,并提醒不要相信其他声称分发 arkenfox 的网站。
