Privacy-Fighter-3.0.0
Release Notes: 3.0.0
New Features:
- Now configuring extensions using managed-storage (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Native_manifests). Overcoming the major hurdle to future proof PF.
- No need to manually enable extensions anymore, they automatically get enabled by temporarily setting extensions.autoDisableScopes
- Now only downloads extensions if not installed
- Added --set-searchengine removed --set-homepage. duckduckgo.com can be added as search engine. Home page is left alone.
- Windows binary built using latest WxPython 4.0.7 : now it bundles MS visual C++ runtime DLLs, no need to have VS C++ 2015 Distribution or any other dependencies.
NOTE: From version 2.0 Privacy-Fighter is installed in a separate Firefox profile called "privacy-fighter" and firefox's default profile is not modified. When upgrading from version 1.x to 2.x or 3.x I recommend that you refresh your 'default' Firefox profile. visit about:support and click "Refresh Firefox" (right corner)
Privacy-Fighter-2.0.1
Release Notes: 2.0.1
Bugfix: Now doesn't throw error when trying to import data from 'default-release' profile If 'logins.json' file doesn't exist in it. It means user never stored any passwords in FF.
Release Notes: 2.0.0
This is a major release.
NOTE: From version 2.0 Privacy-Fighter is installed in a separate Firefox profile called "privacy-fighter" and firefox's default profile is not modified. When upgrading from version 1.x to 2.x I recommend that you refresh your 'default' Firefox profile. visit about:support and click "Refresh Firefox" (right corner)
New Features:
- Completely separate firefox profile called 'privacy-fighter'. Now if any webpage breaks just open it in the 'default' profile then go back to using 'privacy-fighter'.
- Auto import bookmarks and history from 'default' or 'default-release' profile. (you can also specify your custom one). If you are already a firefox user, your bookmarks etc will be copied to 'privacy-fighter' profile.
- If you use the --advance setup. a new profile 'privacy-fighter-advance' gets created. This is hardened profile that uses ghacks-user.js along with my useroverrides.js.
- Simplified options; also choice to setup homepage to duckduckgo or not.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed setup to work on Macos (via pip). Macos binary will be released soon.

Privacy-Fighter-1.2.0
In version 1.2.0
- Added functionality to install additional addons when installing in "advance" mode. ATM "Privacy Badger" will also be installed in "advance" mode. These addons are not installed in the default "basic" mode because they can potentially lead to some website breakage.
In version 1.1.0
- Firefox sometimes changes the default profile to "default-release" or after resets "default-123123" or "default-release-123123" now this has been accounted for. PF will configure all profiles with "default" in their name.
- When installing in the basic mode, now it not required to setup an alternative profile. It is only recommended when installing in the "Advance Mode"
- Improved installation instructions
In version 1.0.0:
- The default installation mode is made simpler.
- ghacks-userjs with my overrides is only configured if "Advance Setup" option manually specified.
