Goals

Complete identity separation
Avoid using Google Chrome
- Due the changes in v69 that enabled:
  - Default Chrome Login: Why I’m done with Chrome – A Few Thoughts on Cryptographic Engineering
  - Cooking hoarding: Christoph Tavan on Twitter: "'Clear all Cookies except Google Cookies', thanks Chrome."
- Google's core business plan depends on compromising user privacy
  - Measuring the Filter Bubble: How Google is influencing what you click
  - Privacy concerns regarding Google - Wikipedia
Enjoy capabilities offered by Mozilla Firefox for all online identities (Home, Work, etc.):
- Vertical Tabs: Tree Style Tab – Add-ons for Firefox
- Helpful Page Info that provides Title and Address for easy linking to references
- Not controlled by the worlds largest personal data miner
For use on macOS

Run without arguments:

./motleyfox

./motleyfox Home:navy Work:gray

Creates copies of the Firefox Application
- Separate applications allow Command+Tab switching
Updates the application

2. Updates their icons
  - Different Icons reduces confusion (I also recommend installing distinct Themes add-ons)

The cloned Firefox application bundles contain a modified Info.plist. The following keys are modifed:

Some plugins are known to rely on these values to function:

1Password extension (desktop app required)
- Workaround: use the 1Password X – Password Manager extension
