Firefox is NOT private. Here's how to fix it. (Firefox Hardening)

Video Description

I bet you thought Mozilla Firefox was a privacy-respecting, secure web browser, right? But by default, Firefox actually has a lot of anti-privacy features and settings enabled. In this video, I'll show you how you can disable a lot of the cruft that Firefox ships with, as well as turn on a lot of hidden preferences to make your browser even more private. We'll also compare three popular user.js files, including Betterfox, Arkenfox, and Narsil's user.js, each with different levels of privacy. After a little bit of configuration, you can finally have the web browser you always dreamed Mozilla would make...
