+# Librewolf
+
+When librewolf's defaults are way to strict and your custom values are lost during update.
+
+Disable cfg values and polies by making sure they are commented out :)
+
+Very simple design, feed a list of values and the hooks will sed it out.
+
+## Why would you want this?
+
+The browser [librewolf](https://librewolf-community.gitlab.io/)
+comes with very opinionated defaults.
+The defaults are fine tuned for maximum privacy and security but you might find
+few settings and policies that goes against your usecase.
+
+For example, you might want
+ * to enable DRM
+ * to enable Firefox Sync for bookmarks only
+ * to enable WebGL
+ * to disable titlebar paint for dark GTK themes
+
+This hook package will allow you to set your custom defaults are blocked
+by checking `librewolf.cfg` and `policies.json` post install.
+
+If there is a entry blocking you in any way,
+this package will allow you to undo the hardoced values.
+
+** But keep in mind **
+It's not for setting up your values.
+You should do create a new files with your custom prefs your self.
+
+Put your created files here
+```
+$ ls /usr/lib/librewolf/browser/defaults/preferences
+ctrl-q-disable.js urlbar-suggestions.js wayland.js
+disable-drawInTiltebar.js
+```
+
+## How it works
+
+Any values blocked by `librewolf.cfg` and `policies.json` can be *unblocked*
+by commenting out the said value.
+
+Many setting from `librewolf.cfg` and `policies.json` cannot bet set via `*.js`
+file at $HOME or at `/usr/lib/librewolf`
+
+Basically this package will put 2 pacman hooks into the ALPM directories.
+
+The first hook `/usr/share/libalpm/hooks/librewolf-apply-cfg-mod.hook`
+will be applied post install of this package and post upgrade of Librewolf itself.
+
+The second hook `/usr/share/libalpm/hooks/librewolf-undo-cfg-mod.hook` will
+undo every modification from first hook prior the Librewolf update.
+
+It's there to basically return the `librewolf.cfg` and `policies.json`
+back to stock to prevent any `*.pacnew` files from being created by deault.
+
+Note - currently there is no backup() in the PKGBUILD of librewolf so undo-hook
+is redundant, however that might change in future.
+
+## Caveats and what to take pay more attention
+
+`librewolf.cfg` states
+
+```
+// "pref" : Sets the preference as if a user had set it, every time you start the browser. So users can make changes,
+// but they will be erased on restart. If you set a particular preference this way,
+// it shows up in about:config as "user set".
+```
+
+however, any function call `pref();` from a `/usr/lib/librewolf/browser/defaults/preferences/*.js`
+does behave more or less like "defaultPref" instead, so user changes done via GUI will be kept on restart.
+
+Also `lockPref, lock_pref, defaultPref, default_pref` are not working function calls in `/usr/lib/librewolf/browser/defaults/preferences/*.js` so they have no effect but does work at `$HOME/.librewolf/user-profile/user.js`.
+
+
+## TODOs for future?
+
+I am mostly responsive on mail `dach@protonmail.com` don't hesitate to ask, send PR or issue to me.
+
+### Implementing some sort value changer for policies
+
+Currently the `policies.json` can only comment out keys, not change a value.
+
+The only scenario I can imagine that there is policy being set by librewolf
+ and is the same as the firefox default.
+You might want to set a different value.
+
+Not implemented due to high complexity. Validating json + multiline parsing.
