Just stumbled upon this project, seems rather new as my DNS blocked its domain by default for being too new hehe.. Anyone had a chance to try it yet? Its got some hefty promises, like having equally strong privacy features as Librewolf. I'll be giving it ago at least, almost sounds a bit too good to be true...

nobody uses iceweasel? For those who don't know, it is the version of firefox cleaned up by non ‘libre’ code mainly from debian and then taken over by parabola linux. For me it is the best together with mullvad.

    I was under the impression IceWeasel changed to IceCat.

    And, honestly, from all I could remember, the default protections are so strong a good half of sites doesn't even work properly lol

    Typical GNU maximalism.

    (But yeah - it really blocks all the bad stuff and doesn't do anything you don't ask it to do, not even call for updates by default)

    icecat is based on the LTS version, iceweasel the rolling-release. I have been using iceweasel for almost a year and all the sites I have used work
