<p>
GNU IceCat is the GNU version of the 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>
Extensions included to this version of IceCat:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
LibreJS
GNU LibreJS aims to address the JavaScript problem described in Richard
Stallman's article The JavaScript Trap
</li>
<li>
HTTPS Everywhere
HTTPS Everywhere is an extension that encrypts your communications with many major websites, making your browsing more secure
</li>
<li>
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.
</li>
</ul>
