2. READ this
* https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/wiki/1.3-Implementation
3. If you skipped steps 1 and 2 above (shame on you), then here is the absolute minimum
* Auto-updates for Firefox and extensions/addon-ons are disabled (section 0300)
* Auto-installing updates for Firefox and extensions/addon-ons are disabled (section 0302's)
* Some user data is erased (section 2800), namely history (browsing, form, download)
* Site breakage WILL happen
- There are often trade-offs and conflicts between Security vs Privacy vs Anti-Fingerprinting

/*** 0300: QUIET FOX
No auto-phoning home for anything. You can still do manual updates. It is still important
to do updates for security reasons. [WARNING] [SETUP] If you don't auto update, make sure you
do manually. There are many legitimate reasons to turn off AUTO updates, including hijacked
monetized extensions, time constraints, legacy issues, and fear of breakage/bugs ***/
We choose to not disable auto-CHECKs (0301's) but to disable auto-INSTALLs (0302's).
