Firefox about:config Menu Shortcut
Yes we can still create uc.js in 2022. MDN no longs serve the XUL doc. However we can search their archived doc repo, e.g. https://github.com/mdn/archived-content/search?q=nsIPrefServ...

Information or Documentation
MDN used to have some good documentation, back before webextensions when it was expected that third-party addon developers would be modifying the frontend directly. that's no longer supported though, so all those juicy pages on XUL and XPCOM have been removed. they can still be found on here but not in a very useful format.

How can I add extra elements?
it's archived on here but the pictures are missing so it's just... fucked honestly. I am so frustrated and aggravated by this. it makes it that much harder for someone to pick this up as a hobby, which makes it that much harder for firefox to find new contributors. anyway, frame scripts are a bit annoying to use. but since about:newtab is a firefox system page (it has a system principal), addons can't inject anything into it either. so you couldn't use greasemonkey or something.

Is there a way to disguise your device info while browsing the web?
I don't know about Chrome based browsers but if you are using Firefox you can try user.js from arkenfox [link] or from pyllyukko [link] (I personally recommend the first one because they have a great wiki), you just put the script to your Firefox profile directory and it will spoof your screen resolution, link referrer, user agent, etc. (Remember to manually edit the file to suit your preferences, otherwise it may delete your history and cookies!). Also you can try User-Agent Switcher and Manager [Chrome] [Firefox] it is open source and lets you change your user agent to whatever you want. You can view your browser information on this website: https://deviceinfo.me, IMO this is a great website for identifying your browser's privacy issues.

How to harden security on Brave?
I don't know how this one compares to Arkenfox, but from my limited understanding, it seems it's more/less of an out-of-the-box Arkenfox experience.

Is there any recent user.js you'd recommend for Firefox?
I've been using the user.js script based on https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/tree/relaxed for a few years now, but today I noticed that it hasn't been updated for quite a while.

A distro based on Ubuntu that also is good for privacy
If you're that worried about privacy you should probably change your Firefox to one of these templates.

I guess it isn't the worst thing out there
Already tried it. Pretty nice but I prefer hardening Firefox on my own (which just means copying and pasting this user.js accordingly and applying some extensions )
