+## ghacks-user.js
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- This is a rough draft, please read the old intro currently at the start of the user.js in the meantime.
|
|
|
+- Paragraph here about not jumping in without reading first, and backing up, and understanding the changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Origins
|
|
|
+- yada yada
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Purpose
|
|
|
+- discuss why use a js (enforcement on startup, migration)
|
|
|
+- outline trade-offs between security vs privacy etc
|
|
|
+- explain expectations and site breakage
|
|
|
+- explain this version is "middle to high road" with very little breakage (but it will happen) but is only a starting point
|
|
|
+- no one size fits all, this is a template, fork it! Customize it! (see goals, we won't set you wrong)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Goals & Standards
|
|
|
+To be **THE** template and resource all other user.js' come to for news, links, information and more, which means it needs to be:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- comprehensive (mention prefs are included at default for completeness/enforcement, alot are included and changed for future-proofing, etc)
|
|
|
+- current and available and change-trackable (hey, we're on github now)
|
|
|
+- easy to understand (good simple less-techincal descriptions)
|
|
|
+- accountable and a resource (lots of links to authorative authors and tech papers etc)
|
|
|
+- correct and to dispell myths and bad advise (see accountable)
|
|
|
+- eassy to follow and report and discuss (logical numbered structuring)
|
|
|
+- give good advise (see trade-offs)
|
|
|
+- expanded on with more information, such as FF version numbering for introduction and deprecation of preferences
|
|
|
+- archived for each stable release (starting with 51)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- to provide illustrated wiki topics to help
|
|
|
+- to make it as easy as possible for anyone to use a user.js and get it right
|
|
|
+- to provide two or three future forks with differnent settings from painless no-breakage, thru to super-hardened for use with multiple profiles
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Implementation
|
|
|
+- expectations of the user
|
|
|
+- link to wiki on testing and tweaking in a portable FF first
|
|
|
+- backup first: link to wiki articles on backup & restore methods
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Troubleshooting
|
|
|
+- wiki links
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Help & Resources
|
|
|
+- Wiki links, appendices etc
|
|
