slick-fox VS user.js

I personally use the Slick-Fox userChrome with some tweaks to save on space and fix some aspects I dislike, might help you ? There's also Firefox Color if you need a color theme that fits your color scheme.

It would probably be best if you just shared your whole userChrome.css file. If I try the style sheet from the repository that is mentioned in your link - this one - the result doesn't really look like in your screenshot.

There kinda is, but not like that. slick-fox seems to add a 6px top margin for tabs here - make that 0 or 0px and it should remove the space.

Here is the GitHub Repo: https://github.com/etesam913/slick-fox

get myself https://github.com/Etesam913/slick-fox to hide firefox thick url bar

Searchbar one works well. However, urlbar-search-mode-indicator isn't working for me, for some reason. I'm on v86 (Dev Edition), and using Slickfox userchrome: https://github.com/Etesam913/slick-fox/blob/master/userChrome.css

Just yesterday I was looking into Slick-fox, but I ended up dropping it because it strayed away too much from Firefox's default look. Your theme is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

i believe i got the initial code from here: https://github.com/Etesam913/slick-fox/blob/master/userChrome.css

Re: firefox and privacy, if you want to use firefox for privacy, consider using https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js . There is a case to be made that Firefox (with arkenfox's user.js) is one of the best privacy-respecting but still fairly usable browsers.

For extensions, I recommend people follow the recommendations[1] in the arkenfox repo and either harden their firefox or use librewolf. Umatrix is unmaintained since 2019.

For macOS : Thunderbird and you can harden it even more with this : https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js

only arkenfox

This article is shit. https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/ is what you want.

If you make time to dig through settings and change them away from their official use (99% of users don't), then you should use a customized setup (in this case, a user.js). That way, you're good to go no matter what Firefox fork you use.

> Firefox remains a stable option to come back to everytime

Don't get me wrong, I've been using Firefox for the last decade and I don't intend on using anything else for the foreseeable future, but Mozilla has no idea what they're doing with Firefox nowadays. Firefox View is the most useless thing I've ever seen, that expiring "independent voices" theme picker was some weird hippie stunt[1], the latest UI redesign which split the tab from the window looks hideous, and it's not like Firefox doesn't have things you can tweak for a more private experience[2]. I miss Firefox Test Pilot where they tried out different new features, I found a lot of them to be very useful but sadly lots of them didn't make it.

Like others have said you can customize the browser to the point that it doesn't even look like the default anymore. Or customize it to maximize privacy.
