Is this any different from IceWeasel?

stengun commented 10 years ago

Yes, this project was named GNU iceweasel but was renamed to GNU icecat. GNU iceweasel was different from iceweasel ( debian's version of firefox), they're unrelated from each other.

Foggalong commented 10 years ago

I meany any technical differences? I know Iceweasel is to remove the copyrighted branding, but what does Icecat do?

"It also maintains a large list of free software plugins. In addition, it features a few security features not found in the mainline Firefox browser" this it the only relevant info on changes that I found

rickpalmeira commented 10 years ago

It's a Firefox without mozilla branding and with support for proprietary plugins/add-ons removed

Foggalong commented 10 years ago

They remove proprietary add support?! How?

Foggalong commented 10 years ago

Anyway, regardless of the technical details of how it works (as a Firefox tester it's just a personal interest) the icon is done :) Should ship in the next commit icecat

stengun commented 10 years ago

Yup, is a firefox rebrand focused on freedom (and, you know, no copyrighted artwork/names). Thank you

rickpalmeira commented 10 years ago

they probably just get the add-ons from a different repository that doesn't have the proprietary ones.
