Major change: PrivacyFox now targets LibreWolf, not Waterfox. Waterfox's own native ad-blocking engine had a structural startup-timing conflict with policy-driven extension installs that three separate fix attempts (v0.1.2-v0.1.4) couldn't resolve. LibreWolf has no native ad-blocker to conflict with -- ships uBlock Origin itself by default -- so the whole bug category doesn't exist there.

PrivacyFox.js is a real, documented diff against LibreWolf's own actual hardening (not Arkenfox+Betterfox applied blindly on top): 118 of 207 prefs already overlap, 3 genuine disagreements are deliberately left as LibreWolf's own choice, 89 real additions remain. policies.json is a real merge into LibreWolf's current upstream file, not a from-scratch one.

Install:

wget https://github.com/rjc3rd/PrivacyFox/releases/download/v0.2.0/privacyfox_0.2.0_all.deb
