I decided to create a fresh new profile, with a cleaner dedicated `user.js` file [Why = to keep closer to native Nightly settings where possible, in hope of minimising potential bad behaviour caused by me perpetrating unwittingly-superseded options]. Ergo, i've cherrypicked a subset of still-desired functions from my almost-exactly-3-years-ago last rebuilt profile's `user.js`, for today's shiny new profile. These are the only ones i chose to retain:

user_pref("toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets", true);

user_pref("browser.compactmode.show", true);

user_pref("font.size.systemFontScale", 95);

user_pref("browser.menu.showViewImageInfo", true);

user_pref("network.IDN_show_punycode", true);

user_pref("toolkit.zoomManager.zoomValues", ".3,.5,.6,.67,.68,.69,.7,.72,.75,.76,.77,.78,.79,.8,.81,.82,.83,.84,.85,.86,.87,.88,.89,.9,.91,.92,.93,.94,.95,.96,.97,.98,.99,1,1.01,1.02,1.03,1.04,1.05,1.06,1.07,1.08,1.09,1.10,1.11,1.12,1.13,1.14,1.15,1.16,1.17,1.18,1.19,1.20,1.25,1.30,1.35,1.40,1.45,1.5,1.7,2,2.4,3");

user_pref("widget.non-native-theme.gtk.scrollbar.allow-buttons", true);

user_pref("network.trr.custom_uri", "doh.opendns.com/dns-query");

user_pref("browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick", true);
user_pref("browser.bookmarks.openInTabClosesMenu", false);
user_pref("browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground", true);
user_pref("browser.bookmarks.restore_default_bookmarks", false);

user_pref("browser.cache.disk.enable", false);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.enable", true);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", -1);
user_pref("browser.cache.offline.enable", false);

user_pref("media.navigator.enabled", false);
user_pref("media.peerconnection.turn.disable", true);
user_pref("media.peerconnection.use_document_iceservers", false);
user_pref("media.peerconnection.video.enabled", false);
user_pref("media.peerconnection.identity.timeout", 1);
user_pref("media.peerconnection.enabled", true);

user_pref("dom.serviceWorkers.enabled", false);

user_pref("extensions.pocket.enabled", false);

user_pref("media.autoplay.default", 5);
user_pref("media.autoplay.block-event.enabled", true);
user_pref("media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground", false);
user_pref("media.autoplay.allow-extension-background-pages", false);
user_pref("media.autoplay.blocking_policy", 2);

user_pref("browser.toolbars.bookmarks.showOtherBookmarks", true);

user_pref("browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh", true);

user_pref("browser.preferences.moreFromMozilla", false);

user_pref("network.captive-portal-service.enabled", false);
user_pref("network.connectivity-service.enabled", false);

user_pref("browser.search.openintab", true);

user_pref("extensions.update.interval", 21600);

user_pref("browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir", true);

user_pref("browser.crashReports.unsubmittedCheck.enabled", false);

user_pref("network.dns.disableIPv6", true);

user_pref("gfx.webrender.enabled", true);
user_pref("gfx.x11-egl.force-enabled", true);

user_pref("media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled", true);

So far, so good. Though it took many hours' work [& was, arguably, not actually needed], at least three unexpected benefits have already flowed on:

1. A specific site i need to use for a current research project, simply refused to work properly in my older profile. It now works a treat in my new one. Possibly my decision to stop banning might be a factor [ie, i EXcluded this one from the old profile, in the new profile:
user_pref("webgl.disabled", true);] ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

2. Needing to install all my fav in the new profile, then import their settings exported from them in the old profile, gave me a chance to see some of my oldest most familiar AOs with "fresh eyes" -- i discovered several cool settings in some of them i'd never noticed before! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

3. Though i'm not tight for storage, this slight total size reduction surprised me: old = 1.1 GB, new = 0.95 GB. Actually no, that's really bugger-all difference, forget i spoke ๐Ÿ˜œ

@dbsalk @robcornelius @ampersine is head & shoulders above crap like & for , & most certainly for excellent features & functions. Though default lacks bells & whistles, a small cohort of specific provides it with excellent enhanced functionality, whilst once the user tweaks its settings via either `about:config` or a dedicated `user.js` file, & also uses [ideally in ], one's privacy & functionality needs are superbly met.

In my early months of Masto, last year, in my original , i personalised my Masto browser view to have five permanently visible columns, then used some to adjust column widths, font sizes etc for comfy viewing in my browsers. The fifth column was the local timeline, which i used for casual reading during the times my Home column remained fairly "under-nourished".

One day, sometime last year, i learned from someone's helpful post that we could follow hashtags, something nowadays just blindingly obvious, but to me back then was utterly unknown. So i began doing so, adding more over time as needs & wants be.

A month or two ago, 'ish, i suddenly realised that nowadays i was spending ZERO time in that local timeline, given my Home column is always full as a goog, full up to dolly's wax, full to pussy's bow, et al ๐Ÿ˜œ Hence it was time to again edit my css, & my Masto interface, to revert to the four-column view.

TL;DR: following hashtags is fabulously handy!

Fwiw...
