The one video I saw suggested running this betterfox.js file or some more elaborate ones. Is that really necessary?

Or are there just some settings that I should change?

(Already run ublock origin if that matters.)

    People tend to speak about hardened Firefox as a separate entity because, unlike some other browsers that come with default privacy out of the box, Firefox requires you to change some settings beforehand. However it’s worth noting that a lot of this stuff is extremely quick and easy to do and you don’t have to make the advanced changes if they are too confusing. You don’t have to use a fork of Firefox either; the default browser is a very good option if you take 5 minutes to set it up and retains QoL features like sync that some forks remove.
