|
GNUzilla is the GNU version of the Mozilla suite, and GNU IceCat is the GNU version of the Firefox ESR browser.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Its main advantage is an ethical one: it is entirely free software:
|
|
while the Firefox source code from the Mozilla project is free software,
|
|
they distribute and recommend non-free software as plug-ins and addons.
|
|
Also their trademark license restricts distribution in several ways incompatible with freedom 0.

Extensions included to this version of IceCat:
|
|
</p>
|
|

|
|
LibreJS
|
|
GNU LibreJS aims to address the JavaScript problem described in Richard
|
|

|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
AboutIceCat
|
|
Adds a custom "about:icecat" homepage with links to information about the
|
|
free software and privacy features in IceCat, and check-boxes to enable
|
|
and disable the ones more prone to break websites.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
HTML5-video-everywhere

Uses the native video player to play embedded videos from different sources
|

|
<p>
|
|
A set of companion extensions for LibreJS by Nathan Nichols (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/NateN1222/)
|
|
are pre-installed, and provide workarounds to use some services at USPS, RSF.org, SumOfUs.org, pay.gov, McDonald's, goteo.org
|
|
and Google Docs without using nonfree JavaScript.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A series of configuration changes and tweaks were applied to ensure that IceCat does not initiate network connections
|
|
that the user has not explicitly requested. This implies not downloading feeds, updates, blacklists or any other similar
|
|
data needed during startup.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Tor™ Browser Button
|
|
Simple TOR network integration (requires running TOR separately at the operating system level)
