IS GOOD if you want privacy, based on ESR, its just works and not bullshit under the hood

I wouldn't think of using anything else

Compiling icecat
My ryzen 1700 CPU goes full speed
Crashes, reboots
Can't use icecat... :(

I'd give it more of a shot but the Mac version has been stuck on 38.8.0 for a year

>>61878725
seriously considering it based on that pic alone

>>61878725
didn't know about this. checked my FF 55 and it's the same fuck yeah.

>>61878707
Development is slow. Spyblock is based on an old version of adblock but the Dev expressed interest in using ublock

It's only good if you're too retarded to flip a couple switches in about:config

You can have all the privacy from IceCat while enjoying more frequent updates and better compatibility in Firefox.

deprecated, iceweasel is the successor

>>61878770
If only you could compile it.

>>61878911
Could you explain?

>>61878941
Install Python,
Download the Source code.
put it in a folder,
run
'mach build' from terminal
use mach run to make sure it works.

find the "DMG" in the folders, install move on

The beauty of FOSS

>>61878982
fuckin awesome, thanks anon

>>61878995
Or just use fucking Firefox and disable the telemetry. Literally takes a minute.
Faster than compiling some placeboware from source.

>>61878982
>Install Python,
Dropped.

>>61878880
is dis true

>>61879039
yes

>>61879039
Yeah. It's not that hard.

>>61879045
how did you get it to have categories, my config is just a list. im on ubuntu no bully pls

>>61878707
it's what they say on the box: FF with extra addons, extra privacy settings and bunch of shit like recommending nonfree plugins removed.

Also gotta love how librejs assfucks every recent anti-adblock method.

>>61879062
Screenshot? Also Firefox version.

Icon is a cat
Dropped

>>61879084
it's a nice cat anon
an ice cat

>>61878707
Autismo tier

>>61879062
what do you mean categories? If you mean this screenshot >>61878880 then type whats in the url shown in the pic.
But about:config is going to have the most comprehensive list of settings.

>>61879062
I think you're misunderstanding.

about:config

are the settings and

about:telemetry

just shows what kind of telemetry is enabled/being sent.

>>61879003
I use FF stable and am happy with it, but I like to try shit out and tinker

>>61879100
I'm pretty sure it's just a joke about how there's been about ten threads about Hobbes being on the nightly icon, and people not knowing who Hobbes is.

>>61878707
I used it for a while, but sometimes it wouldn't load certain HTTPS pages. Mostly image servers. Changing SSL cypher settings in about:config also didn't help.

No idea if this is fixed now or not, or if it was intentional all along, but I switched to cyberfox then (which will be dead within a year) so I'm considering switching back.

>>61879083
>>61879108
>>61879125
yeah i saw about:config and then didnt realize the screenshot has about:telemetry open thank u anon(s)... :^)

>>61879150
Maybe HTTPS-Everywhere was the problem?

I prefere Firefox 57 nightly

>>61879191
I don't think so because I'm using it on cyberfox too with my icecat profile folder copied over.

Also copying the folder to standard firefox the sites would load too.

>>61879194
Enjoy not having any working extensions.

>>61879223
I'm with the other anon, I had issues with HTTPS Everywhere. Now I'm using Smart HTTPS.

daily reminder if you want to keep noscript on nightly

>>61879285
>using NoScript in 2017
Switch to uMatrix already.

>>61879285
But don't rely on this though, because this is temporary and it's likely Mozilla will get rid of this toggle by the end of Nightly 57. It's better to find alternatives to legacy add-ons.

>>61878725
>>61878880
Wait so how did you guys get no data collected for every category, or is that just some kind of example?

>>61879330
>how did you guys get no data collected
Disable Health Report, Telemetry etc.

>>61879302
Why? NoScript works very well for me. What are the differences?

>>61879343
i do but those pics literally have every single category with no data.

>>61879491
Well I don't know what it usually looks like (post yours?) but I disable internet during setting up my Firefox and disabling botnet shit is the first thing I do on first launch, so it has never had the chance to collect or send anything. That's why everything is blank.

not much info here but this is basically what it looks like, everything off screen is just no data collected. i wasn't sure if this screen shows just data collection history or what is collected by websites every time you visit.

>>61879084
say that to my face fucker

>>61879570
This isn't stuff websites collect.
Telemetry is info Mozilla collects to "help make Firefox better" and whatnot.

>>61879765
i was thinking about how websites see certain info and all that so excuse me for that

>>61879757

I got a new computer and started off fresh with it. I wanted to use IceCat as my main browser except it takes about 30s to start up and is slow as fuck. I'm using Firefox ESR.

>>61880399
if Windows use Waterfox, Pale Moon or Iridium
If Linux use Pale Moon, Icecat or Chromium Stable
