Does anyone have experience with arkenfox/user.js? (github.com)

How effective is it for online privacy? I have been using it for some time and it tends to break some sites like banking websites and twitch. I haven't messed around a lot with the config except allowing DRM and setting up a start page.

I am wondering if using arkenfox/user.js is making my browsing fingerprint unique and whether there are better alternatives for privacy focused browsers.

I prefer BetterFox user.js Requiees less tweaking, better defaults for everyday use.
