* There is now a single, unified installer script for installing Phoenix on GNU/Linux distributions & macOS (as well as an uninstaller script to compliment it). **Huge thanks to @Gnu1 for their work and contribution. 💜**
* Heavily improved macOS install & uninstall scripts.
* Updated our uBlock Origin config to match latest upstream changes.
* Our uBlock Origin config now includes BadBlock - Ethical Whitelist as an **optional** whitelist, **not** enabled by default. See the introduction [here](https://badblock.celenity.dev/base/whitelists/ethical.txt) for more details.
* Enabled the use of our custom uBlock Origin config on LibreWolf & forks. We currently don't support LibreWolf, but this is useful for if we decide to in the future.
* `Amazon`, `Bing`, & `Google` built-in search engines will now be fully removed for users on Firefox ESR releases.
* Our macOS Homebrew Tap has changed from `celenity/Phoenix-Policies-macOS` to simply `celenity/tap`. No action is required for existing macOS installations, due to Codeberg's automatic redirects.
* If the user configures a proxy, we prevent the browser from bypassing it by default.
* Changed certain proxy preferences we set from `locked` to `default`, so that the user may change them if they choose to do so.
* Prompts for users to 'refresh' their Firefox profile have been disabled, as it could cause severe issues with Phoenix users (especially those using one of our `user.js` files.
* Post Quantum Encryption is further enforced where possible.
* Several important preferences have been added to our policies (in addition to our `.cfg` files) for defense in depth. *(See specifics [here](https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix/commit/1bcaee4f87e53c64e041427e81e688a961f6b204))*
* Users may now install the [FMHY SafeGuard](https://github.com/fmhy/FMHY-SafeGuard) extension directly from GitHub at their own discretion.
* Added policies for defense in depth against dangerous 'Data Loss Prevention'/'ContentAnalysis' functionality. *(See specifics [here](https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix/commit/2bf4558ed5d9ea7044b826720b006bbff5581744))*
* Disabled Mozilla feedback prompts & Mozilla's `Web Compatibility Reporter` - We don't want users bothering Mozilla due to our customizations; feedback & issues should be filed with us directly. Additionally, in the case of the `Web Compatibility Reporter`, disabling it also decreases attack surface & potentially improves performance.
* Other minor tweaks & enhancements
