Name : icecat
Product : Fedora 39
Version : 115.3.1
Release : 7.rh2.fc39
URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/
Summary : GNU version of Firefox browser
Description :
GNU IceCat is the GNU version of the Firefox ESR browser.
Extensions included to this version of IceCat:

* LibreJS
GNU LibreJS aims to address the JavaScript problem described in the article
"The JavaScript Trap" of Richard Stallman.

* HTTPS Everywhere
HTTPS Everywhere is an extension that encrypts your communications with
many major websites, making your browsing more secure.

* A set of companion extensions for LibreJS by Nathan Nichols
are pre-installed, and provide workarounds to use some services at USPS,
RSF.org, SumOfUs.org, pay.gov, McDonalds, goteo.org and Google Docs
without using nonfree JavaScript.

* 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.
