>Firefox is a bit weaker on Android, with an extemely limited set of extensions Definitely not with the Iceweasel fork. https://github.com/fork-maintainers/fen

  Yeah, I'm actually using Iceraven right now, I just didn't want to muddy up the point of that comment any further than I already had. Firefox is an easy recommendation on desktop but mobile needs a bit more nuance. The point is that using anything that's not Google Chrome is better for the internet.

  Is that the one that harangues you any time you load a page with non-GPL'd JavaScript on it? Because that was incredibly annoying.
  • nfriedly 3y ago
    Nope, I've never seen that. Iceraven is just Firefox for Android with more extensions enabled, about:config support, and a couple of other minor annoyances fixed.

      Wait, the post says iceweasel but the link is iceraven, are they the same thing? This was on the default browser one of the times I tried LineageOS, this was back in 2019 or so. I could be misremembering the specific fork.

        I found this about iceweasel, which inclines me to believe that you remembered it correctly, and the grandparent was just mistaken about the name: > In August 2005,[11] the GNUzilla project adopted the GNU IceWeasel name for a rebranded distribution of Firefox that made no references to nonfree plugins. > [...] > The GNU LibreJS extension detects and blocks non-free non-trivial JavaScript. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_IceCat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_IceCat
