Hi
In about:config "privacy.trackingprotection.enabled" is set to false.
It is better to keep this value a default?

I believe it is turned off in the official releases of Basilisk, so you would have to build Basilisk yourself with the MOZ_SAFE_BROWSING config option enabled.

That's what I thought it was at first, but this is actually a different feature, namely the one I linked to in my above post.gepus wrote:So the article recommends the use of snake oil.
