The `thunderbird user.js` is a **template** which aims 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 breakage (but it will happen).

Everyone, experts included, should at least read the [wiki](https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js/wiki), as it contains important information regarding a few `user.js` settings.

It differs from the `arkenfox user.js` in that the focus is to keep Thunderbird as an **e-mail client** and disable as many web browsing features as possible. We believe web browsing should be done in a web browser, and not an email client.
