  [](https://hits.seeyoufarm.com) # Betterfox 31% faster than regular Firefox^{[1](https://medium.com/@mihirgrand/comparing-popular-firefox-forks-6fa83fdfdaad#:~:text=31%25%20more%20than%20vanilla%20Firefox)} :rocket: [about:config](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox) tweaks to enhance [Mozilla Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/). :new: Now with [ESR support](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/tree/esr115#betterfox-esr). ## 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](https://web.archive.org/web/20231108092752if_/https://pmctraining.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Law-of-Diminishing-Returns-CHART.png) and the [minimum effective dose](https://medium.com/the-mission/less-is-more-the-minimum-effective-dose-e6d56625931e). ## Required reading *If you don't have it already: [Get Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release)* 0) Create a [backup profile](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/wiki/Backup). 1) Download the user.js file [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/main/user.js) (Right click > `Save Link As…`). 2) Review [Common Overrides](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/wiki/Common-Overrides) and make any necessary changes. * See also [Optional Hardening](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/wiki/Optional-Hardening) for other recommendations. 3) Open Firefox. In the URL bar, type `about:profiles` and press **Enter**. 4) For the profile you want to use (or use default), click **Open Folder** in the **Root Directory** section. 5) Move the `user.js` file into the folder. *After restarting Firefox:* 1) Get an **ad blocker** like [uBlock Origin](https://addons.mozilla.org/blog/ublock-origin-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-ad-blocker/) with our [recommended filters](https://github.com/yokoffing/filterlists#guidelines). 2) Enable **DNS-level protection** with [NextDNS](https://nextdns.io/?from=xujj63g5). ^{<i>Use the link and support this page!</i>} * Check out our configuration [guide](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config) for the best experience. * See how to [quickly enable](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/dns-over-https) **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](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Fastfox.js) | Increase Firefox's browsing speed. Give Chrome a run for its money!| | [Securefox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Securefox.js) | Protect user data without causing site breakage. | | [Peskyfox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Peskyfox.js) | Provide a clean, distraction-free browsing experience. | | [Smoothfox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Smoothfox.js) | Get Edge-like smooth scrolling on your favorite browser — or choose something more your style. | | [user.js](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/user.js) | All the essentials.
