Massive context window, free tier, suuuuuuuper fast. So far the best copilot I've tested; highly recommended.

Betterfox

31% faster than regular Firefox1 :rocket:

about:config tweaks to enhance Mozilla Firefox.

:new: Now with ESR support.

Made for everyday browsing

A secure, blazing fast browsing experience. Without breakage.

Betterfox is an opinionated preference list inspired by the law of diminishing returns and the minimum effective dose.

Required reading

If you don't have it already: Get Firefox

  1. Create a backup profile.
  2. Download the user.js file here (Right click > Save Link As…).
  3. Review Common Overrides and make any necessary changes.
  4. Open Firefox. In the URL bar, type about:profiles and press Enter.
  5. For the profile you want to use (or use default), click Open Folder in the Root Directory section.
  6. Move the user.js file into the folder.

After restarting Firefox:

  1. Get an ad blocker like uBlock Origin with our recommended filters.
  2. Enable DNS-level protection with NextDNS. Use the link and support this page!
    • Check out our configuration guide for the best experience.
    • See how to quickly enable secure DNS in Firefox.

Simple goals

  1. Minimalism: get what isn't needed out of the way
  2. Efficiency: unleash Firefox's ability to be fast and performant
  3. Privacy: protect your data without causing site breakage

Simple configs

Fastfox, Securefox, Peskyfox, and Smoothfox are guides to settings within Firefox.

The user.js — a configuration file that controls Firefox settings — is curated from these guides.

List Description
Fastfox Increase Firefox's browsing speed. Give Chrome a run for its money!
Securefox Protect user data without causing site breakage.
Peskyfox Provide a clean, distraction-free browsing experience.
Smoothfox Get Edge-like smooth scrolling on your favorite browser — or choose something more your style.
user.js All the essentials. None of the breakage. This is your user.js.

Nerd Fonts (www.nerdfonts.com)

Just thought Nerd Fonts should get some more love & attention

Nerd Fonts patches developer targeted fonts with a high number of glyphs (icons). Specifically to add a high number of extra glyphs from popular ‘iconic fonts’ such as Font Awesome, Devicons, Octicons, and others.
