* A variety of website capabilies will be disabled by default, including the ability to create sound, or ask for your location or the ability to send notifications.
* A variety of helpful services will be disabled, including password management, translation, and autofill.
* Third-party cookies will be disabled, along with some relevant APIs.
* Disables JavaScript for non-secure pages.
