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: /usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/icecat-$VERSION/browser/disabled-extensions
