### ![](https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/blob/master/wikipiki/bullet01.png) Foreword
What started as a personal, private project back in early 2015, was released as an article by Martin Brinkmann at [ghacks](https://www.ghacks.net/) in August 2015. I never expected much to happen beyond the first article, but it did. The response from the ghacks community was great. I continued to keep it up-to-date and expand it. And along with suggestions from ghacks commentators, it has evolved and grown. But six monthly updates are problematic. So two years since I started, here we are at github, with all the obvious benefits that brings. I am excited about finally being here (it was talked about for a year), and looking forward to taking this to the next level with you all.

### ![](https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/blob/master/wikipiki/bullet01.png) What does this aim to do?
This `user.js` is a template, which, as given, aims (with add-ons) to provide as much privacy and enhanced security as possible, and to reduce tracking and fingerprinting as much as possible - while minimizing any loss of functionality and site or UI breakage (but it will happen).
Here are some simple equations I wrote down to illustrate the simplicity between privacy, security, tracking, fingerprinting, website functionality, UI convenience, reality, and your own expectations. I *may* have had one Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster too many when I wrote that, but it made perfect sense at the time.
