GNU IceCat aim to be based on the the current official release of Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) with removal of trademarked artwork and proprietary components. GNU IceCat (originally GNU IceWeasel) is part of GNUzilla (the GNU version of the Mozilla Application Suite). A direct workaround for bugzil.la/863246: No Resource URI Leak.IceCat 38.8.0 (based on Firefox ESR 38.8.0) has 7 critical bugs. IceCat v45 is still in beta and have not been packaged for Trisquel. For the mobile variant of IceCat, see IceCatMobile “In order for a file to be detected as free, the license notice should appear in a JavaScript file above all code, at the very top of the file.” The cool thing about JavaScript: THERE IS NO CLOSED JS-SOURCE, IT IS ALL “OPEN SOURCE” PER DEFAULT (maybe obfuscated, compressed but OpenSource)īut yes of-course – is JQuery’s MIT-license = Free Software? – If you find a bug, please report it to Browser without JavaScript is supersafe – but (unfortunately) pretty useless right now (2016.10).īlocking all JavaScript that has license or not is the “hardcore approach” to the web nowadays □ (almost all more sophisticated sites will break – some not even displaying any TEXT and PICTURES (NO KIDDING! EVEN UNIVERSITY-PORTALS HIGHLY BET ON JS! BAD BAD BAD! :-D) Other free Mozilla extensions and add-ons may be available for this purpose.

More backend, less front-end.Ī website/portal without JS support might be perfectly doable – the question is: will people do that. That is definitely a downer – the question is – allow JS on those sites only? or disable completely and not use it □ and ask the programmers to change their ways. Unfortunately, i think Facebook even works well without JS, but Diaspora and WordPress FAIL BADLY (IMHO) with JS disabled □ To my experiences with this scripting language – it is cool that it exists but: it is slow and dangerous! IT CAN SPY ON/ATTACK/HIJACK YOUR ROUTER □ NoJS AT ALL □Īnother problem: I COULD NOT GET ANY JAVASCRIPT TO WORK. So there might be critical bugs that were not fixed yet – tearing potential security holes – while browsing.
