GNU IceCat is a "de-mozillaed"[^] Firefox LTS:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/ https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/
It seems it is mostly maintained within GNU Guix now (which has 91.3.0).
[^]: It comes with its own set of opinionated (but privacy-friendly) add-ons.
- garaetjjte 5y agoIt reminds me when Debian shipped with "Iceweasel" instead of Firefox because of some licensing nonsense.
- coffeecat 5y agoUnfortunately, upstream IceCat appears to use the FireFox 60.x ESR branch, which is three branches behind the current ESR and is past its end-of-life date. It's also a few security updates behind the 60.x ESR branch's last release. The GUIX package is more recent, but its description states: > WARNING: IceCat 91 has not yet been released by the upstream IceCat project. This is a preview release, and does not currently meet the privacy-respecting standards of the IceCat project.
