What is this hardened Firefox I hear about? (lemmy.ca)

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.)

When I was using Librewolf, it seemed to lag behind on updates, which is a non-negotiable for me.

I now run FF with arkenfox user.js, so youget updates right as they are released

+1, the minescule amount of extra work (moving some files to your firefox profile's directory) is well worth it over just using Librewolf
