u/New_Fee_887

Hello everyone! I made a personal policy for Firefox as I spent a lot of time manually configuring it and I might as well share it, here is what it does.

• removal of AI integration
• disabling of telemetry and experiments
• removal of recommendation systems
• removal of most search/suggestion behavior
• tweaked security options
• removal of firefox accounts/cloud
• installs Ublock origin, privacy badger and consent-o-matic
• sets DuckDuckgo as default (it can be changed)
• private windows delete cookies after closing them

I still left the choice to allow users to install other search engines and extensions.
