Betterfox is a curated configuration profile for the Firefox web browser designed to optimize speed, security, privacy, and user interface minimalism. It provides a set of preferences and settings to harden the browser environment and improve overall performance.
The project distinguishes itself through targeted configuration suites that refine scrolling behavior, font rendering, and interface elements while removing visual distractions from the new tab page and address bar. It includes specific directives to disable telemetry, tracking, and digital rights management.
Its broader capabilities cover privacy hardening and security optimization, including fingerprinting protection, secure DNS implementation, and certificate pinning enforcement. The profile also manages content control through service worker restrictions, automated data sanitization, and permission management for notifications and location access.
