# Thunderbird User.JS

|
|
> Thunderbird privacy, security and anti-fingerprinting: a comprehensive user.js template for configuration and hardening
|
|
|
|
### :purple_square: user.js
|
|
|
|
An `user.js` is a configuration file that can control hundreds of Thunderbird settings.
|
|
For a more technical breakdown and explanation, you can read more on the [overview](https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js/wiki/1.1-Overview) Wiki page.

|
|
The `thunderbird user.js` is a **template** which aims to provide as much privacy and enhanced security as possible.
|
|
It differs from the `arkenfox user.js` in that the focus is to keep Thunderbird as an **email client** and disable as many web browsing features as possible. We believe web browsing should be done in a web browser, and not an email client.
|
|
|
|
- If you're using Thunderbird (< 68) with Tor we suggest that you install the [TorBirdy](https://addons.thunderbird.net/addon/torbirdy) add-on. If you are using Tor, you should also consider using [Tails](https://tails.boum.org/) or [Whonix](https://www.whonix.org/).
|
|
- If you're using **Gmail**, please check [this article about OAuth2](https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js/wiki/3.1-OAuth2-Users).
|
|
- For information about [extensions](https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions), see the Wiki.
|
|
- **Calendar** users should [see this page](https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js/wiki/4.1.1-Calendar).
|
|
|
|
Also be aware that this `user.js` is made specifically for Thunderbird and has only been tested in the latest stable release.
