The creators of the browser don't try and push any political messages through it.
>>
>>62116961
Yes, they do. Are you trying to say "doesn't push an SJW agenda" but mistakenly think that all politics are SJW politics?
>>
>>62116993
I suppose you could say it promotes a pro freedom message but freedom benefits every individual of all leanings.

How would I update IceCat? I mean I had to install it from source, so I had to manually check everytime I feel like updating?
Package managers are too comfy so I don't wanna deal with manually checking for updates because I'll forget anyways.
>>
>>62117064
So it's not the political message you take issue with, it's the SJW whatevers. Why didn't you say that instead of "apolitical?"
>>
>>62117076
neither *did* mozilla
ftfy
mozilla used to be a very respectable organization, the pioneer of the open web. these days though, the fail to stay neutral, often picking a side in political matters, and even affecting firefox itself with their agenda

Next ESR is 59 so you will have to wait a little longer.

Not relevant.

I'm not him, but I would say that "pushes politics" is a deal breaker for software and I.

SJW is just the recent trend that's gained a lot of disdain as of late. So the common connotation of "SJW" for us has come to mean "disdainful forceful intrusive political agenda pushing where it isn't wanted".

It's *my* job to filter the "fake news", not my browser's. It's censorship, it's wrong, and we don't want it in *any* capacity. It gives software the capacity to hide content it doesn't like, which sets a very dangerous precident similar to North Korea and Russia.

We just want good software again. First it was spying, now it's censorship. It's getting worse, not better.

Fuck, that's what I was trying to say! SJW is not the only political agenda. SJW is the that's been oozing into *everything*. By SJW we really meant "all" invasive political agenda sticking itself where it doesn't belong for it's own gain.

I would recommend looking in the archives as there are tons of threads with suggestions. if you are on Linux then look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/list_of_applications#Web_browsers for ideas.

As someone who lives in an extremely liberal college town I can confirm this is grade A bullshit. Everyone from your classmates to god damn *children* are hardcore socialist SJWs. It's terrifying.

My guess is retarded.
Then there was the share your french fries. Did some fat cow in Mozilla want their coworker to share fries so badly that they put it in the browser?

Well it's not a ***cancerous*** one

Then how did Trump win? You're a retard. They just parrot shit that makes them sound like SJWs because they're scared of Big Brother.

Everyone is a fucking COWARD.

How do I compile the latest Icecat on Mac?
>>
>>62121510
Or winblows..
>>
>>62116863
>Free
Firefox is also free with the branding removed. Gentoo and Debian maintain patches to remove the branding, which is the only nonfree part.
>Fast
I have both Firefox and IceCat right now and Firefox is much faster. This is likely due to Firefox being several versions ahead of IceCat. Maybe Icecat is just fucked though
>Apolitical
Why would I choose a browser based on the political affiliation of the creators? If it has an unremovable fake news filter, that's not a political issue, that's just gimping your browser.
>Compatible with all your addons
Has Gnuzilla committed to never progressing to Firefox 58 and continuing to maintain it? I would assume a lot of addons will drop support for older versions of firefox eventually.

I don't see any reason to use IceCat over Firefox. Just configure Firefox to have the same privacy settings as IceCat and there's probably no difference

You ma'am, are a retard. Those extremely liberal colleges are the mainstream now, and the dumbshits didnt go to the polls for that faggot Sanders (thank god), and then proceeded to fail voting for Hilary enough to beat out all the "marginalized" rural groups.

Trump won because people like you didn't open your mouths dumbass. In the end, I'm glad he won anyways though, he's really fucking up your shit senpai-alamadingdong.

Any way to import logins.json from firefox 38 profile? Simply coping to new profile created by icecat doesn't did anything (extensions, history, cookies and other stuff in profile was successfully copied however).

Which one is better?
Palemoon, icecat, iceweasel, waterfox or just firefuck nightly?
I dont wanna try one by one because I'm just lazy. I'm currently using palemoon and it's kinda unstable, am I doing something wrong?

It's placebo like most other Firefox/Chromium forks. You can configure Firefox to behave exactly like stock Icecat in three minutes.

I don't remember exactly what Icecat changes from Firefox aside from the LibreJS addon, but you can just look it up and then toggle settings in about:config. Aside from that, Icecat also removes the Mozilla brandings because they are trademarked, but only the most autistic and integralist freetard actually cares about this.

I am using it on Linux, but I can figure out how to build it from source on windows(since there are no binary releases AFAIK).
