GNUZilla Icecat is a fully-free fork of Mozilla Firefox ESR browser.
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>

<ul>
<li>

Adds a custom "about:icecat" homepage with links to information about the

</li>
