+* name: arkenfox user.js
+* date: 25 April 2021
+* version 89-alpha
+* 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 better
+       * https://www.torproject.org/about/torusers.html.en
+  2. Required reading: Overview, Backing Up, Implementing, and Maintenance entries
+       * https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki
+  3. If you skipped step 2, return to step 2
+  4. Make changes
+       * There are often trade-offs and conflicts between security vs privacy vs anti-fingerprinting
+         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 close (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 1603
+       * Take the wiki link in step 2 and read the Troubleshooting entry
+  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)
+           [SETUP-PERF] may impact performance
+              [WARNING] used sparingly, heed them
+  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 or reset deprecated prefs (9999s) and prefs made redundant by RPF (4600s)
+    - re-enable section 4600 if you don't use RFP
+    ESR78
+    - If you are not using arkenfox v78... (not a definitive list)
+      - 1244: HTTPS-Only mode is enabled
+      - 1401: document fonts is inactive as it is now covered by RFP in FF80+
+      - 4600: some prefs may apply even if you use RFP
+      - 9999: switch the appropriate deprecated section(s) back on
