      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>

       A set of companion extensions for LibreJS by Nathan Nichols (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/NateN1222/)
       are pre-installed, and provide workarounds to use some services at USPS, RSF.org, SumOfUs.org, pay.gov, McDonald's, goteo.org
       and Google Docs without using nonfree JavaScript.
       </li>
       <li>
       A series of configuration changes and tweaks were applied to ensure that IceCat does not initiate network connections
       that the user has not explicitly requested. This implies not downloading feeds, updates, blacklists or any other similar
       data needed during startup.

       LibrifyJS
          Libre replacement for JavaScript blocked by GNU LibreJS on libgen.me
