longDescription = ''
GNUzilla is the GNU version of the Mozilla suite, and GNU
IceCat is the GNU version of the Firefox web browser.
Notable differences from mainline Firefox:
- entirely free software, no non-free plugins, addons,
artwork,
- no telemetry, no "studies",
- sane privacy and security defaults (for instance, unlike
Firefox, IceCat does _zero_ network requests on startup by
default, which means that with IceCat you won't need to
unplug your Ethernet cable each time you want to create a
new browser profile without announcing that action to a
bunch of data-hungry corporations),
- all essential privacy and security settings can be
configured directly from the main screen,
- optional first party isolation (like TorBrowser),
- comes with HTTPS Everywhere (like TorBrowser), Tor Browser
Button (like TorBrowser Bundle), LibreJS, and SpyBlock
plugins out of the box.
This package can be installed together with Firefox and
TorBrowser, it will use distinct binary names and profile
directories.
