So the advanced user can delete / edit the ones he wants and it might be easier and faster for you to add / edit / remove some keys ;)
Ok, but then each update will replace config.cfg, unless you manually skip it, in which case you'll miss later changes that come from Librewolf.

I've been thinking about removing that code because it adds complexity and requires reverting optimizations done to the browser code all for dynamic runtime OS spoofing. I should just fake 10 for those picky sites.

Because I see no reason why I should be forced to use these keys. Actually it's a PITA to have to edit these user agents, one by one, each time a new version of R3dfox is released.
Totally agreed!
I was not familiar with the referenced "keys", but Holy Shit, Batman!
UA's with the F word is SO D@MN **CHILDISH**, thanks for the heads-up that SH!T like that is being hardcoded !!!
lol you should see the GitHub issue lol

Yeah, things like "trans-rights=human-rights". blah blah blah
There's "professional" and there's "childish", most of us know which is which when we see it.

The Notepad++ types of activism is never going to work for r3dfox.
At least I don't think it will, lol, what do I know.
I stopped updating mine BECAUSE of all the activism.
My old one works fine for everything I need it for.
