    I downloaded the !icecat v60 .deb file, but I've been reluctant to install it because I think it no longer supports all the extensions I've grown dependent on... #UpgradeWoes

    Looks like there's a new minor version release of !IceCat: 52.6.0 https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/52.6.0/ I wonder when (or if) the latest #Mozilla #Firefox code will be ported to #IceCat

    To use uMatrix just go to https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/releases and download a "uMatrix.firefox.xpi" (the most recent is 1.1.14), and launch the file with !icecat. Should work.

    Anybody using the Dillo web browser? https://www.dillo.org/

    I'm sick of Firefox. I don't want to use Chromium because it is non-free. I use !icecat. Icecat is alright, but I wouldn't mind switching to something simpler. I'm looking for non-Firefox non-webkit browsers, hopefully something that is reasonably well maintained. Any pointers?

    1. target=“_blank” is Holding Your Users Hostage
      The target=“_blank” attribute is holding up your users. You’re going to need a good hostage negotiator. Included here are tips for Firefox and Chrome users so you can disable this annoying behavior.

    !Icecat update from Rubben

    GNUzilla is the GNU version of the Mozilla suite, and GNU IceCat is the
    GNU version of the Firefox browser. 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.

    This release introduces few changes aside of the major upgrade from v38

    spyblock, internationalization build system and search plugins.

    * Updated to v45.5.1ESR
    * https-everywhere updated to 5.2.7
    * Disabled antifeatures: EME, telemetry, flash, search suggestions,
    Geolocation, GMP, Pocket, and extension signatures. WebRTC tunned to
    prevent ip leaks over TOR.

    #webtorrent needs the #MediaSource API available from Firefox 42 onwards. !icecat is still running version 38 only, and doesn't support the MediaSource API. :-(

    @arunisaac@social.systemreboot.net @arunisaac@social.systemreboot.net it looks to me like icecat's developer, Reuben Rodriguez, follows along with whatever #security #updates are relevant to !icecat . However it seems to me that because of how it is built and configured Icecat has a smaller attack surface than #firefox does by default. It is likely even better than Firefox with regards to #security because of it.
