[QUOTE="RejZoR, post: 873122, member: 57233"] Yes, I'm aware there are billion tweaks, but I focus on what's somewhat important and useful, not just stick every single one of them inside just to say I have 300 of them inside. I've asked on r/browsers for ppl to propose useful and sort of important tweaks and I'll collect from that. You guys can do the same here. 1) Number of tweaks as a number is imo irrelevant. I do post a changelog and I generally try to make them descriptive instead of cryptic. Was thinking of adding actual string names from about:config but would make changelog really cumbersome. I'll have to reconsider how to do that. Browser it will apply to will always be considered as the most recent stable version, which as of this moment is Firefox 75. There are 3 tweaks in it for this version already, some date as far as 40 versions back... 2) Changelog is tracked on my webpage. Generally, if tweaks are not supported in certain version, they are simply not effective even if they are applied to prefs.js. Again, I'll strive to keep them relevant to current version. Of something gets deprecated in current version, it'll be removed. And for new ones, hopefully I'll be able to add them before actual version goes live as I generally start using latest stable version 1-2 days before it's officially launched (usually appears on their public repository). 3) Currently no. There is a feature that opens the Firefox Profile folder in which there are both, prefs.js and prefs_BACKUP.js and you can quickly access both for manipulation. Yes, my idea was to sort tweaks in categories, although there are often issues on how to classify them. Is First Party Isolation a Security or a Privacy feature? Coz in a way, it's both. Same for HTTP upgrading on HTTPS pages. Generally it's security, but if content is all HTTPS it's also privacy thing. So I haven't figured that out just yet. [/QUOTE]
