Privacy Prefs

Purpose

Firefox contains a number of about:config preferences that can improve user privacy. E.g.,

• https://github.com/fmarier/user.js/blob/SeaGL/user.js
• securefox ideas etherpad
• Referrer Improvements ideas etherpad

This Shield Study add-on sets these preferences to non-default values, so we can measure user feedback and their effect on Firefox usage.
