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.
|
|
|
|
Icecat's additional privacy features are in form of browser addons.
|
|
This SlackBuild unbundles them so that users can install the ones they
|
|
want in the usual way:
|
|
|
|
* SpyBlock is a fork of Adblock Plus with extra privacy features.
|
|
|
|
* Https Everywhere automatically encrypts your communications with
|
|
many major websites, making your browsing more secure.
|
|
|
|
* HTML5 Video Everywhere enables popular video sites to use the
|
|
browser's built-in video player.
|
|
|
|
* LibreJS blocks javascript scripts unless they are tagged as free
|
|
software [EXPERIMENTAL]
|
|
|
|
* AboutIceCat adds a custom "about:icecat" homepage with links to
|
|
information about the free software and privacy features in IceCat,
|
|
and checkboxes to enable and disable the ones more prone to break
|
|
websites. [COSMETIC]
|
|
|
|
Disabled addons can be found in:
